Do you ever look back on your decisions and think, “Why I on earth did I do that?”
Many time we make bad decisions.
But the funny thing is that bad decisions never seem like bad decisions at the moment.
You can never avoid making a mistake. However, you can do your best to avoid making dumb decisions.
Plus, by learning from other people’s mistakes, you can make their mistakes your own. You’ll learn faster that way.
Don’t Overthink.
Smart people are way too preoccupied with doing the right things. They want to have a perfect life, career, house, business, car, holiday, etc.
When you put too much pressure on yourself to make the right decisions, you get analysis paralysis.
When you overanalyze every single decision, you become paralyzed. Result? Nothing. Now, that’s a bad outcome!
That’s how people end up wasting their lives.
The only way you can stop overthinking is by making yourself aware of your thinking process.
You can’t control the future. So stop thinking about it.
Do This Instead: Make Small Decisions. Decide Often.
You can fear decisions altogether because you might make mistakes. What happens is that you don’t make decisions at all.
When you make small decisions early, before they become big — it’s easy. When you put off decisions, they become big — and painful.
In life, The longer you stay in a bad relationship, the harder it gets to leave. It’s also true for your job.
Earlier Decisions Lead To Better Decisions
The earlier and more you decide, the more chance that you make better decisions.
I often say that there are no right or wrong decisions — only decisions. That’s not entirely accurate. Of course, there’s a difference in the quality of our choices. That’s the topic of another article.
But here’s the thing: NOT making a decision is also a decision. If that’s a conscious move, that’s okay. You think about something, and you decide that doing nothing is the best option.
However, I’m referring to not making a decision as in “I’ll put it off until another time.”
No matter what, you’re making decisions all the time. Instead of making fewer conscious decisions, we need to make them earlier.
Because all you need are a few good choices in your lifetime anyway. What will be your best? You only find out after, you guessed it, you’ve made a decision.
I hope you have gained some knowledge from this words.
Thank You.
Nice
