Life is about making decisions. From minor to major ones. From less significant ones to life-changing ones. Some choices are obvious while some are not as straightforward.
Have you ever had to make a decision that is so hard to make or had you ever been torn between two equally attractive choices that you'd wish that it has been chosen for you? How do we know if we have made the right choice where required? Like the saying goes,
One man's meat is another man's poison.
The most suitable decision varies from person to person based on individual preference. And many times, based on individual need. Could we be under-analysing a decision-making or over-analysing it? The other dimension to consider is whether you would be making a timely decision. Hence, speed does matter in certain decision making. Nevertheless, there are some general guidelines which may serve to be useful for individual decision making I believe and if we pay attention to it to a sufficient extent, the answer lies among them.
Have you made your first major decision today yet? How would you choose? And last but not least, what lessons have you taken home from the decisions you had made in order for you to improve on it?
