Life Is About Making Decisions

Life is about making decisions. From minor to major ones. From less significant ones to life-changing ones. Some choices are obvious while some are not as straightforward.

Have you ever had to make a decision that is so hard to make or had you ever been torn between two equally attractive choices that you'd wish that it has been chosen for you? How do we know if we have made the right choice where required? Like the saying goes,

One man's meat is another man's poison.

The most suitable decision varies from person to person based on individual preference. And many times, based on individual need. Could we be under-analysing a decision-making or over-analysing it? The other dimension to consider is whether you would be making a timely decision. Hence, speed does matter in certain decision making. Nevertheless, there are some general guidelines which may serve to be useful for individual decision making I believe and if we pay attention to it to a sufficient extent, the answer lies among them.

Have you made your first major decision today yet? How would you choose? And last but not least, what lessons have you taken home from the decisions you had made in order for you to improve on it?

Here I have selected 11 quotes which I hope would inspire for you in making the right decision.

Courage and confidence are what decision making is all about. ~ Mike Krzyzewski

Don't base your decisions on the advice of those who don't have to deal with the results. ~ Unknown author

I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions. ~ Stephen Covey

Whenever you're making an important decision, first ask if it gets you closer to your goals or farther away. If the answer is closer, pull the trigger. If it's farther away, make a different choice. Conscious choice making is a critical step in making your dreams a reality. ~ Jillian Micheals.

Have a good day ahead.

I love this Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's quote:

“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
Begin it now.”
