The Choices We Make

How do we decide upon things? A question of importance raised by a friend. Settling on a yes or a no, is the task we face daily on little things as well as the things that matter the most in our lives. Our decision making is a very complex yet interesting process. It is clear, as to every decision that we make leads to a particular future. A future to which when we arrive, we acknowledge the correctness of our decision making in the past. If you can think about the future from the choices you make, and think upon it with a strong accuracy, I believe you would be happy with your decisions.

Every decision that we have to make is always dependent of a number of factors. There are some factors that are important in a particular decision making, and there are many others that have little importance. Our decision making also depends upon the number of factors our brain is able to see through when we decide. It may be just a choice of food you want to order at a restaurant, if you are able to think upon all the different factors that can affect your decision. I believe just after you’ve eaten your meal, you will feel good upon making that decision.

Jotting down important things, is one of the best ways to be smart at your work. Similar, is the case when you are making an important decision. The best way is to write down all the possible factors, things, people that may affect your decision, with the descending order of the strength of effect. This way your brain will have the company of the visual record you just created to think upon your decisions. If you can think openly and freely, you will make the right decision. But there are times when one must decide immediately and it is then, when you must think with calmness; your experience will help.
