We are bound to make several decisions in our lifespan. Of those, perhaps a few might be the easier ones, but some occur to be really really tougher & then there are those that are the extremely difficult ones. Hence, every decision that we make, be it an easy or a complicated one has got phenomenal strength that could change the course of our life.

Therefore, I’ve identified 5 important components, which if perceived properly, could not only help us in making better decisions but also refine our thought process from deep within.

1. Peace at Mind.

It is incredibly important to understand under what circumstances you are currently in while committing someone about something or prior to taking any decision. It is very essential because if a decision is taken in a confused, an unstable, or an unclear state of mind, it often turns out to be a wrong one & sometimes it even proves to be one of the biggest mistakes of our life. Therefore, it is highly essential to be calm and have an absolute peace at mind before taking any decision. Remember, a decision should always be taken with peace at mind, not for the peace of mind.

2. Intuition.

Go with your gut feelings, normally these are not wrong. However, I feel this could be of greater help and support if analyzed alongside the 5th point discussed below.

3. Impact on Your Present.

Yes, the first thing that changes when you take any decision is your today — your present. Therefore, it is important to understand and distinguish what kind of a decision is being taken — is it for your today or are you sowing seeds for a better tomorrow? So, we must condense upon and take a decision prioritizing our present without giving much of an importance to the future, which none of us could ever decipher. Thus, I feel an honest decision taken for your today will automatically secure & create strong grounds for your future.

4. Avoid Unnecessary Fear.

After Peace at Mind, discussed above, this is the next significant angle to think about while making a decision. Because our decisions should never be based on any sort of fear, especially the fear of the future. Taking decisions based on assumptions could be disastrous, no matter how accurate your assumptions could be. Therefore, you should never take decisions by assuming things. Similarly, one should not take any decision based on historical events as well, or based on any real-life example of a similar situation. Because, if the future would be your life’s greatest secret, then your past should be your life’s greatest learning. So, please take your decision based on your own learning & not someone else’s. Do not ever get swayed by others opinions.

5. The Root of Your Decision.

Now, this could be an integral dimension to analyze, not impossible though. I believe it becomes fundamental to dissect your thought process, to evaluate & identify, the core feelings from where your decision has emerged. In other words, you have to ensure that your decision is definitely not a result of your ego, anger, revenge, frustration, or your own benefit. To sum up, it should not be based on any kind of good as well as bad intentions. You should ascertain that it is purely derived from an unbiased & neutral feeling from deep within.

Our life perpetually keeps on changing, & in this dynamically changing life, every individual’s personality, growth, and status should be a result of their own choices and never ever a result of someone else’s — Think About It!!
