HOW do YOU know if its a right DECISION ........

Well, we all know one thing for sure that a good life is what comes as a result of successive right decisions one takes in his lifetime. Every moment of life, no matter how big or small, is a decisive one, the subjects keep on changing. A decision taken, not only influences today but tomorrow; not only you but people around you; and sometimes affects generations yet to arrive. Whenever there is a conflict, internal or external, that very time becomes wartime and the mind, struggling to make the right choice or decision, becomes a battlefield. And in a majority of the times, one ends in making a decision which is not a solution to the situation rather an illusory peace of mind.  Now, this RIGHT DECISION is something very subjective i.e a decision taken which is right for one may not seem to be a wiser one for another.
So how to know whether the decision taken is actually right or not.

Before analyzing the outcome, why not let's throw light on the process of decision making?

• A good decision making should never be based on one's feelings, especially during extreme emotions  (elation or grief) as these are temporary but the decision taken concerns with permanence.

• A decision taken in peace is always fruitful than the one taken just for the peace of mind. 

• One should analyse the impact of a decision as a whole and it is thus, becomes essential to give as much time to decision making as the degree of that impact holds in one's life.

• Also, never overthink or over- analyse as it ultimately leads to weak decision making. Once decided, no more procrastination, go ahead with it. 

• Any bias in regard to decision making such as anger, jealousy, conflict, attachments, etc. often results in a wrong decision.

• A good decision not only focuses on the results it would fetch with time but also takes, the journey to reach that goal,  into consideration as well.

• A right decision can never be completely selfish or selfless, its a proper blend of both with a pinch of goodness for the people who matter to you and the ones you love.

• Never give others the authority to make decisions for you or influence you in the process of decision making as they would not bear the fruits of its outcome. They would not walk along with you on your life path.

• Make your close ones and elders part of your decision making as right counselling widens your horizon and leads to right decision mostly.

In difficult times, we usually rely on others to give us sound advice and we should even listen to them too but solely depending on others for one's own decision should be avoided. How can u lead a life which is purely a vision of another person's mind?

Also, it's so often seen that you usually accept the advice of the person whose personality and thought process gel well with your own, and never follow the advice of one who seems to be speaking against you even if the person is right.

So ultimately its YOU only who is making the decision.
Then why we need someone to be there to influence us? It is because we are afraid of the fate of the decision taken by us and we constantly require someone to put the blames on if at all it fails.
But it is also not so uncommon that we often don't appreciate others if the decision succeeds.

A right decision mostly requires a CHANGE. As it is correctly said, CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT.
So never be afraid of changes in your life. Never stop yourself to conclude a decision if it requires a change.
Don't fear the uncertainties of the risk involved in the decision as these have always been the part of your life and would always be. Unpredictability usually has its own fun!!
Have the courage to trust yourself and your gut. As I believe that whenever you do anything whether good or bad, your conscious always tell you from within if it is just or not, then it's up to you what you choose over what.

So come on and start making decisions for yourself without getting influenced and stand by it, for stronger minds always take responsibility for their decisions, fair or unfair. And you will observe how much priceless the fruits would be, no matter if justified or not, but it would be your decision, your experience and your destiny. And this is what life revolves around, making decisions and living with it. Whether cherished or repented for, it totally depends on the choices you make and the perception you hold.

So, A right decision would be the one that expands your life, your future and most important, expands YOU as a person, even though it may appear terrifying and difficult to pursue, it is worth fighting for and hence, don't worry, just go with it !!
