In life, there are times when doing nothing is more dangerous than doing something. Personally, making a decision means facing life, taking risk where and when needed, as one choice could change everything. Our culture hasn't just teaches us to respect elders and traditions, it has also taught us to work, to hustle and to chase our dreams. Making a decision can be very hard, there are times you will be stuck in between taking risks and to play safe.
Making a decision is hard, its not always easy, its not even about writing down your options and weighing their different advantages and disadvantages. Personally, I know its not easy, has life itself has given me my fair share. There was a time I got a very good job offer immediately after school, the pay was very good and everyone wanted me to take up the job...opportunity comes but ones they said, I thought it over also, but I don't just know why my heart wasn't at peace with the job, I was really restless, my peace was gone, and because of that, I felt it was a way of telling me to turn down the job, maybe for some unseen reasons yet, and I did turn it down, everyone blamed me, but I already did, not long after, I got another, the pay was good to, not up to the first though, but this job, I love it, my spirit aligned with it, and I thought.. one peace of mind matters too.
Taking decisions aren't always easy, especially life changing ones, there are times that even simple.decisions could be a life changer. So, when I want to make a serious decision, I simply take my time, I do a way with whatever form of distraction, if its my environment, I leave for somewhere I could think, if its my phone, I do away with it, I just sit by myself to think it through and talk to God.
Also, I do ask myself deep/tough questions...questions like...is this right, is it because am scared, should I really do this, must I let go, of what benefit is this...and more are the questions I ask myself. Fear is present with me together with wisdom and understanding, and then I try figuring out which is speaking, as both most times look alike. I also imagine the worst case scenario. If I fail, If I had to let go, if it's a no........
Also, I pay attention to who I talk and listen to, reason being that everyone has an opinion, so I don't just talk and listen to just anybody. I talk and listen to people with experience, people who’ve made mistakes and are still moving. I learn from their mistakes, know how to tread and that's it, if I don't want a life like thiers, with their experience and all, I know how to navigate through.
Once I make a decision, I stand by it, I go all in. I pray, I plan, I focus and I work hard. I remind myself that even if things don’t go the way I expect, I will still move forward. And also, I don't give up easily, yes, I don't, cause there are times that what kooks like failure at the end of the day or on the way, it turns out to be a blessing, sometimes a great one.
So, when making a decision, don’t wait till forever trying to be perfect, time flies, think and carefully make your decision, then go all in, if its a no, make it one, if it's a yes, you made the decision yourself. Don’t wait for people applauses. We all know life is not about always getting it right, it’s about being bold enough to try, to take risk and be strong enough to learn and handle whatever comes next.

Pray. Plan. Focus.. I totally agree with you.
One way to recognize you are on the right path to a decision is your peace of mind. If you aren’t having peace in you, then it’s a warning and also a guide for you and I believe God never disappoints.
Yeah....GOD never disappoints.
Thanks a lot for stopping by.

I totally agree with you with the pray, plan and focus. Sometimes making a decision feels so hard, like you're scared of what will happen. I like how you said peace of mind matters, it’s true. You can’t force something if your heart isn’t in it.
Exactly, I love that you agree with me.
Thanks a lot for stopping by.

Being silent does not mean being free from problems, the decisions we make with full consideration are the best for us, don't regret them, that's our choice
I agree that every choice we make with awareness shapes our journey.
Thanks fo this.
