Decisions- Importance & Repercussions.

Hello readers

Hope you all are doing great.

Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.

      

 - Robert H. Schuller

Oh! Crap, I shouldn’t have done that, now how to get things back on track. We all would have done several mind talks like this after a hexed situation, isn’t it?  

How important it is for one to handle a particular situation? One wrong move could be a costly loss for you. It is not possible for everyone to take right decisions at all given times.

If we compare the game of chess to our life we all understand the importance of decision making. It is very important in chess to move your pawns in the right direction which will eventually make you the winner, similarly it is very important to take right directions in life and win situations and move further.

From the medical point of view the decision making ability is located in the medieval cortex of brain, and the basic thinking algorithm that brain uses before taking a decision is, will the result of this decision be harmful to me? or the people around me if yes progress with the current decision if not find alternatives.

But still we have seen many people taking wrong decisions even though they know that it is wrong to follow that route for solving the problem.

So if we just try to catch up on the psychological aspect of this, it was found in a study which was conducted in Florida, that every time we take a wrong decision intentionally, please note that this word “intention” is very important as you are guided by your motive and intention.

 So if the person’s motive, goal or intention is confused or not properly defined he will have the difficulty in taking decisions.

For instance, if we take the difference of opinion between a couple, the difference will trigger an argument and will end up in taking random decisions just to win that argument, at end of the day there will dissatisfaction and remorse between them and it will take time for them to get back to their usual lighter moods, therefore we should not take decisions in middle of an argument or a quarrel.

Making correct choices is very much essential, so what happens if you stumble in few places? You will learn your lessons and improve in the art of decision making.

You know this word decision is a small word, but big empires have been built based on this small word, great leaders take decisions which have future repercussions which may affect people either in a good way or rather make it worse.

Taking right decisions is actually the key in maintaining and setting the tone especially in relationships. This is where it is important to keep one's mind as cool as cucumber. Any sort of turbulence in relationships would definitely hamper the environment at both personal and organizational levels of that individual. So, it is always advisable that one has to take some extra care when it comes to decisions related to maintaining relationships.

So please let your decision be free of common enemies which will disturb the process of decision making such as urgency, anger and emotional thinking and so on.

All the best we wish you a happy New Year in advance, let this New Year bring happiness and pleasure in your life.

Living with hope
