We become so conscious on identifying the best option
because we cannot afford to risk a wrong decision. However, we failed to
realize the importance of ensuring that any decision we make turns out right.
We overly emphasized on the choices we make instead on everything that follows.
By merely choosing the best option
available for does not warrant that things will turn our right in the long run.
We should focus on what will happen next if we select this choice. By doing so,
a given decision made will be determine if it is right or wrong. Our sense of
agency and ownership is diminished once we focused too much on the right
decision. On the contrary, focusing on the effort that will be required after
our decision not only helps us see the means by which any choice might succeed,
it also restores our sense of agency and reminds us that while randomness plays
a role in every outcome, our sense of control resides in our daily activities
more than in our one-time decisions.
We should simply not allow our
emotions to choose for us. We might regret later. Though emotions are important
input into decision-making; but it will most likely lead to a negative outcome
and focusing our attention on the options likely to lead to a positive outcome.
That's the reason why too many people commit the same mistakes over and over
again. They let their emotions rule their rational thinking. In the end, they
suffer the consequence of their wrong decisions.
Some people who have difficulty in
making choices. They are afraid of the risks of making the wrong decision. They
have trouble making decisions because they fear of making mistakes. They do not
want to be wrong but the trouble is they worry too much, they are blinded to
see that it should be the other way around. When they make a decision, they
should exert every effort they have to turn it right no matter what happens.
What it means to have too many
choices is that it also varies. Some people are overwhelmed by choosing between
two things. Others can have an almost endless options but it also depends on what
the choice is. Making decisions is sometimes making a commitment to a choice
and sticking with it, but often there is an opportunity to find out something
new if we only allow ourselves to have a room for improvement. Having an
opportunity to find out something can make decisions fun.
Just bear in mind, "We cannot
always make the right decision, but we can make every decision right by being
objective and rational."
Some people have trouble with making
decisions because they have trouble setting priorities. The sad thing is, it's
difficult to teach people how to make the right decision because of their poor
judgment or lack of insight.
