Being guided or self-made depends on the options you choose.
Choices in every way play a very important role in choosing the path of life.
But making a choice is not as easy as pronouncing it.
There are many factors that influence the choices we make.
Not only affect but sometimes also create stress.
Our society has set certain criteria for making choices.
So what should be the process of making the choice? The so-called correct option. Should we follow the instructions of the society?
Then what about experience or we can say what about research.
I firmly believe that if we follow someone or are directed by someone, we can only choose their experience.
Perhaps this can make us successful in the journey of life.
But then we can never understand the feelings of the choices made and their consequences and benefits.
Here are some ideas on how to make a choice:-
1) Self analysis:- We have lot of time to think about others. eg. Their happiness, opinions, recommendations and the list is so high. What about me?
It is important to know yourself in order to make choices. Otherwise people do not change their choice if they understand and know themselves.
2) Peaceful mind:- If we are talking about a calm mind. People will think us crazy. In the era of competition or comparison, a calm mind is just a joke.
Thousands of attempts to keep oneself calm fail. There is one practice that can help us a little to stay calm.
That is meditation.
3) Learning:- The daily activity of learning something new or adding a skill. Not only helps you to increase your creative and knowledge but also makes us young day by day.
Learning teaches us many ways to know right or wrong. Which develops a sense of making the right choice.
4) Being open minded- Being judgmental about others makes you narrow minded.
A conservative mind can never make the right choice.
Because his field of view will be narrow and conservative.
Freedom of thought always refers to a mind that is free from discrimination and criticism.
Give creative guidance to your mind to think independently.
Throw out the lenses of judgmental lenses that constrict the thought process.
Last but not least, take responsibility for every action.
Once we hold ourselves accountable and responsible for everything we do.
Whether you have made choices under the influence of others.
Because it was your wish to follow them too.
Even then you will be responsible.
Accountability and responsibility for the actions we take reinforce our sense of acceptance.
It boosts our confidence to face and overcome failures.
Never blame anyone for your failures.
This attitude will help you build your decision making power stronger than ever.
