Suggestions To Pick The Right Decisions In Life

By Cate Johnson


In life we get to screw up a couple of times and never make the right decisions. But, it is okay because it is when we stumble for the first time we get to stand back up with wisdom. So, how do you get your life back and make the right decisions? Here's how.

List down all the pros and cons of your decision and think about it. If the pros outweigh the cons then you are up to a good start but if there seems to be too much at stake then you should bail out.

Focus more on the outcomes rather than the choices themselves. If you focus yourself on having an outcome that is favorable to you, then you already have a decision in mind.

There is an effective problem solving technique called the Five Whys. When something goes wrong ask yourself why it happened then follow it up as to why it happened when it happened and why such thing happened before that. This will ultimately lead you to an answer you have never thought of before.

Research show that following your gut is the most likely choice of solution for people who are faced with dilemma. It is because our subconscious mind is a lot better at handling complex thoughts than our conscious mind.

Make one decision at a time. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to make several decisions at one go, it is much better that you make the most important ones and save the rest for later.

Remember to base your decision on what is right on your own terms and not what everybody thinks is right for you. We all have different opinions and different outlook in life so each situation can be perceived differently from person to person.

No one in this world can tell you what to do and what to decide. Everything lays on you and how you live your life.
