We all experience life’s challenges and want to take the best option. Sometimes it’s easier to make choices, and sometimes it is hard because people don’t know how to make right decisions and hence get confused.
Decision-making is the hardest part for most people because many thought comes into their mind, and too many options can confuse them.
Don’t worry. Today, in this blog post, we will learn how to make decisions in life. You need to read the post till the end, and I am sure you will get some valuable learning from this post.
So let’s go ahead.
Importance of decision making:
First, we need to understand the importance of decision-making, which will motivate you to read this article. Because here you will know how much important it is.
Decision-making is one of the most important things that people do in their lives. If you will see, what do you do every day in your life? You make decisions. Right?
What do you have to eat? What do you have to wear? Where will you go for an outing this month? Which movie will you watch? Etc.
I hope you can relate to these examples. These are some everyday decisions that everyone makes in their day-to-day life subconsciously. But there are many decisions that we need to take consciously and where we get confused.
You may have heard that your decisions decide your future. Hence, it is very crucial to make your decisions wisely.
I hope you would have understood the importance of making the right decisions. So let’s go ahead.
How to make right decisions in life?
I understand that everyone will have a different way of making a decision. But here, we will discuss some dos and don’ts that will help everyone to improve their decision-making skills.
So let’s get started without further ado.
1. Never make decisions based on your feelings.
Let’s think about it. There are two things, one is making you feel good, and another is making you feel bad. What will you choose?
I can confidently say that most people will choose what makes them feel good.
For example, we know that we should wake up early, it is good for our health, and there are many benefits of waking up early, but we wake up late because it makes us feel good, which is not the right choice.
Hence, remember that we should never take any decision based on feelings because feelings are temporary.

2. Avoid decisions when you are in control of your emotion
You may have heard a piece of advice from your elders that you should not make any decisions under two conditions, one is when you are too much happy or the second is when you are too much sad.
Because when you are happy, you feel everything good, and if anyone asks you for anything, you will say yes to that person. And when you are sad, and if anyone gives you any advice or says anything, you will get angry. You will not like to listen to that person.
So if you make any decisions in such conditions, you may regret them later. Hence, you should avoid making decisions when you are in control of your emotions.
3. Never take a decision just getting impressed by the result
I have seen many people who get influenced by the result and make their decisions. Let’s understand this by an example.
When we see a person earning so much money by doing a particular thing, we get influenced by their money and decide to do the same thing. We don’t see the process behind it. How do they earn money? How much effort did they put in? Do we like the process?
First, we don’t ask questions to ourselves, and when we don’t enjoy the work, we don’t get the same result. We leave it and regret our decisions.
There will be many things that you would have left just because you were not getting the result. Hence, always focus on your work, not on results. Because when you focus on results, you get distracted by the process.
4. Don’t be afraid of changes when you make decisions
When you make any decisions and start working on them, you may see the changes in your life. You will also see changes that will give you pain. But you need to see it carefully. Is it good for you? Or you don’t want to come out of your comfort zone, so you are afraid of these changes.
For example, when you do exercise, you will feel pain. Now you will have two choices, one is you can stay in your comfort zone and avoid this pain, and the second one is you can bear that pain, which will give you good health in the long run.
Change is the law of nature hence don’t be afraid of it. You can analyze the changes and act accordingly.
5. Always believe in your decisions
Whatever you do without faith is useless. Before taking any decision, you should think that is this right for me? Do I strongly believe in this decision?
Because if you don’t have faith in your decision, or you don’t believe in it, then no one will believe.
Without having faith and belief in your decision, you won’t be able to stick to it. Whenever you see changes or face obstacles, you will quit your decision.
Hence, make decisions based on reality and believe in yourself.

6. When you make decisions, think for others too
People make decisions according to their profit or what is good for them, but do they think about others?
I have seen people who say lie for their profit and don’t care about anyone’s loss. I hope you may have also seen these kinds of people. If someone did this thing with you, you surely understand how it feels.
Remember, what is good for society is good for you. Hence, don’t always only think about yourself. If you make decisions without greed, there will always be a win-win situation for you and others.
7. Choose your advisor wisely
When you face any problem or make decisions, you take advice from someone. But do you know whether you are taking advice from the right person or not?
It’s vital to take advice from the right person. Because we live in a society where you will ask anything from someone, they will have their opinion on everything. Even if they have never faced that problem in their life, they will give you advice.
Hence, choose your advisor wisely, and take advice from someone who has knowledge about it or has faced and overcome the same problem in his life. That person can only help you to make the right decisions.
8. Trust in the god
There is only one thing we can do after making a decision, which is to work on it. We focus on the result, but it is not in our hands. Hence, always trust in god.
God knows what is good for you and what is not, and even after giving your 100%, if you don’t get what you want, maybe something big is waiting for you. Hence, don’t lose hope and try your best.
Remember that, whatever happens, happens for good.
