Decisions I've Made A Few

Decisions I've Made A Few

I guess over the course of my lifetime I've made more than a few decisions. The thing that's interesting is all of my decisions were made in the moment. Some people shy away from making a decision. Some think the best decisions are ones that are planned a long time in advance.

The reality is we all make a decision at the moment a decision is needed. Always remember a no decision is a decision as long as you have the choice to make the decision or not. You see decisions can be forced upon us by family, friends, doctors or even your friendly plumber.

The best decisions are ones that work out as you wanted them to work out. However, sometimes a bad decision or a no decision can educate you so you don't make the same bad decision twice. You all know the old saying "fool me once shame on you - fool me twice shame on me." You also know the old saying "insanity is making the same bad decision over and over again while expecting a different result."

Would you make the same decision today that you made when you were a teenager? Would you make the same decision at forty that you made at thirty? I will say again, all decisions are made in the moment. It doesn't matter if you wouldn't make the same decision today. What does matter is did you learn to live with the decisions you made at that time.

There are a tiny number of decisions that will cause you death. There are a tiny number of decisions that will cause you to have a bad life for the rest of your life. There are a tiny number of decisions that will cause you lose your happiness forever.

The most important thing to accept is that you are in control of most bad decisions. OK, you made a very bad decision - now what! Do you believe being angry with yourself for the bad decision is serving YOU or do you believe in yourself so much that you know you will overcome any bad decision?  Which person are you?

We all want every decision to work out perfectly. Well, take it from someone who has been there, that's not the way the Universe works. What I have accomplished is to learn from my decisions (good or bad), find a way to turn a bad decision into a good decision or accept what's happening for now and find a way to change it or live with it as a happy person.

Remember, shouldas and couldas are a horrible way to live your life. You should never be angry or frustrated with yourself because you shoulda done this instead of that. You should never be angry or frustrated with yourself because you feel you coulda done this instead of that.

Yes, decisions I've made a few. Some good and some bad. However:

Avoiding Making A Decision Because You Fear You'll Make The Wrong Decision Is A Crappy Way Of Living Your Life.
