Decision making is hard and scary but there’s something harder and scarier than that, that is being stuck.
To avoid decision-making sometimes we tend to take shortcuts like Astrology, horoscope, tarot card reading etc. The whole business of fortune-telling is growing and the fact that it's there is because we don't want to spend time on decision-making. We want somebody else to make decisions for ourselves, which is sometimes not best for us. That's why it's really important for you to make decisions for yourself. It does 2 things,
One it saves time, instead of going into multiple astrologers, different people to discuss your problems, it saves your time. Of course you need to take some advice from some experts, for someone you look up to, you need information but then if you make your own decision it will save you time.
Two, there’s a saying that it's better to make a wrong decision then, no decision. because any decision will move you forward. It's better making a wrong decision than being stuck.
Decision Making is hard in and of itself but then there are some other elements that makes it even harder one of them being commitment decision-making is also a commitment, if I commit to one thing then what will happen to 99 other things. FOMO right? but then do you know what's more scarier than Fomo? incompetence the feeling that you are not living the life to the fullest and to avoid the feeling of incompetence you'll have to take decision and take a steps to One Direction.
Another thing that does not help to take any kind of a decision as information overflow, in today's world there's so many information all over the place that you do not know where to look and to find right information, to make a right decision and if you fail to check your sources, then there's this risk of taking the wrong decision. It’s important to make sure, you gather your information from the right sources and check if they are science backed or not.
another thing that's in our way to take a decision Make a decision is confirmation bias because you believe in something and when you see the similar information in the same direction you trust that it. it's really important to explore some contradictions, and then doubt your own sources. it's actually really the balance between learning more and trusting your own intuition and it only comes from practice. Decision making is like exercise as much as you practice you will develop more trust in your own decision-making process and your intuitions. Then you will either stick to your decisions.
Why is it so important to make decision and move forward?
The decision-making process is so tiresome, it is so hard, we don't want to do it, then why can't we just stay the way we are, on our robe all day, doing nothing and we don't have to take any decision and life would be so Rosy and purple, is that so? no, because you have a dream and if you don't work on your dream when you cannot sleep, your dreams won't let you sleep at night. the way Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam said ones, “dream is not what you see in sleep dream are something which wont let you sleep”. we all have those dreams that won't let us sleep and to be able to work on that dreams guess wha? t you will have to take action and then to take action guess what you'll have to do? take the decision and for that you will have to let go of other options
