Do you know decision-making is one of the hardest parts of human life because sometimes it doesn't affect your life alone but also the lives of people around you and far from you and most times the impact can be little or more? As I sit down to write about how I make my decisions, I can't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness because the truth is, I have made so many wrong decisions in my life I wouldn't advise anyone to follow the way I make decisions, but the best part of it is that I learn from those wrong decisions so I am not making the same mistake twice.
Making major decisions that have the power to change my life is always a very difficult task, and many people will agree with me.

Hello everyone, my name is Fashtioluwa. In today's blog, we will be exploring the world of decision-making, which was opened to us by one of our favorite communities, HiveLearners. In this blog I will be telling you
What my decision making process is, When I make decisions that feel major and could change my life, how I approach them and so on.
You see, when I'm faced with significant decisions, the first thing I do is to take a step back and evaluate the situation from a rational standpoint. I like to think more than twice before concluding on any matter.I try to gather as much information as possible, weighing the advantages and disadvantages of each option.
This helps me understand the potential outcomes and consequences of my choices. The reason why I do this is because I have made so many decisions in a hurry and it backfired so I'm always taking my time to think well before jumping on any decisions. One of the key influences I look out for is my intuition.
Sometimes, my gut feelings can provide valuable insights that logic alone may not capture. I listen to my inner voice and pay attention to how each option makes me feel.
This may sound religious but I pray and listen to the Holy Spirit before taking any major steps.Many people don't pray before making a major decision, but I do. After checking everything with my human knowledge, I take it to the throne of the Most High and pray about it. I read the scriptures and always get confirmation to go ahead or wait and this always helps me make the right decisions.
Finally, I always tell myself that no decision is set in stone, that is, you can always change your decision. Nothing is final; when I see I am making a mistake, I immediately change my mind and set myself on the right path again. Flexibility and adaptability are crucial, especially when dealing with life-changing choices.
I prepare myself for different outcomes and always have a plan B in place to handle unexpected developments.
Let me leave you with this. Every decision taken has an impact in your life, be it big or small, it have a way of influencing destiny and everything we do matters, so make sure you think twice before making any decisions.
Thanks for reading, my name is Fashtioluwa.
