The one thing I've learned about myself and about the human race in general is that no
matter who you are or what you do for a living, you will always have to make thousands of
decisions every single day.
Most of them are relatively small and simple; for example, what's for breakfast? or I'm
thirsty, do I want water or tea?
maybe coffee?
See, decisions like these don't take much mental energy, most times, but others decisions
we have to make in life are much more complex.
Should I accept this new job, even if that means I have to move to a different city?
What about buying a house? or selling my current home?
Am I ready to start a family?
See, decisions like these, on the other hand and many others like it carry a much heavier
weight because these are the decisions that can impact our lives in many ways.
Well, to be honest, every decision we make impacts our life in some way.
Now this thought and act itself of making thousands of decisions a day is overwhelming
and exhausting.
So much so that sometimes we shut down and refuse to make decisions all together.
We find ourselves becoming best friends we silence.
Because he or she doesn't ask us to make decisions.
However there are two things we can do to help with this.
Here's how to make better decisions in life.
The first this is that you have to Change Your Identity.
"I am so indecisive."
"I always make bad decisions."
"I never pick the right one, or person."
"whenever I make a decision it always comes back to haunt me."
See every time you have to make a choice, just one out of thousands of decisions a day,
this voice we hear in the back of our mind, starts to chant these phrases.
And with every passing syllable, it becomes more and more difficult to think.
Thus pushing us towards quote un-quote "making the wrong decision" again.
This happens repetitively because it's what we believe.
It's how we identify ourselves.
And this identity, we've bestowed on ourselves, to be completely blunt with you, is a bunch
of bull.
Bad decisions don't define you.
What does it what you do moving forward in spite of them.
We have to learn, we have to grow, we have to adapt in spite of them, and we have to
disconnect ourselves from this false identity so we don't end up stuck.
Number two is Make Mistakes.
Now I'm not endorsing the act of intentionally making a wrong or a bad decision that can
impact your life in a negative way or harm you.
That's not what I mean.
What I am saying, is that it's important to know and understand that mistakes are going
to happen.
And will probably happen more often than you can predict.
See the reality of life, is that there isn't a step by step guide for it.
Much of what we do and don't do are all learned behavior.
And because of that, mistakes will happen.
The key however is learning from those mistakes but also don't allow fear to creep in and
hinder our decision making going forward.
At the end of the day, with every decision you make.
Two things can happen.
One you'll be right—and if so, congratulations.
Or two you'll be wrong—and if this happen then it's time to step back and shut down
fear before he or she has a chance to speak.
Because only then will you understand why your decision was wrong.
Remember, you have to know why you were wrong before you can learn to be right.
