Decision Making By Shaikh Taufiq Alkhatib At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

We all have to make them every single day. Be it big or small, we all do. Bet let’s not talk about the trivial decisions we need to make from time to time. Let’s touch on the heavier, more important and life changing decisions that we can make but don’t. Why? What’s this article for then?

The decisions and choices we make can either make us or break us. Even our sub-conscious decisions can shape our future. We are not taught to learn how to think effectively and make the truly correct decisions, especially in a country like mine (I’m not sure about other countries) where children and youngsters are less independent and decisive due to the nature of the upbringing of children in the country. But let’s not go as far as to talk about that.

So what happens when we are not independent and decisive? We depend on others to make the decisions for us. We let our bosses, supervisors, managers, financial planners, friends, workmates make the decisions for us. We are dependent on others to determine our future, how we live, where we work, how we work, how we should live, what we should buy…the list goes on.

This happens mainly because most of us are not confident enough to make our own decisions. We doubt ourselves and tend to follow the crowd and what other people say. Why? Are we such flexible people that we just follow what people tell us? I don’t think that’s the case.

I think that we’re just fearful of being discriminated. We are scared to be shun upon when we step out of the crowd. We are scared of failure! It’s as though failure is a crime, failure is wrong, failure means our death. Most of us live mundane lives because we are scared to fail! And because of that, we never succeed. Success would never be on our agenda list simply because we are fearful of taking risks. We are scared to lose our friends if we fail.

We have to muster our courage and mental strength and strive to succeed in life in any way simply because life is worth living. Living the way we want to live is not impossible! However we have to strive to succeed. That is where our decisions can actually shape our future. When we want to succeed, we set goals. We will work towards those goals and gradually, we make the decisions that will take us there. Another interpretation can be seen from the video “The Secret” which can also be seen at my blog, www.ShaikhTaufiq.com

Think about the decisions you have made in the past. Did you have a goal set? How badly did you want it? Did you work towards that goal? Did you achieve it? Were the decisions you made based on the goals you had set for yourself?

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. I’m sure you’ve heard this before. Planning and setting goals is a must in order to succeed in whatever you do. So why not make plans and goals for your future? Why not plan to be a success? Why live the simple life the way other people want you to live when you can start living the way you want to live? Why settle for second best when you can be the best? Why wait any longer to be a success when you can start right now?

Make the right decisions. Be informed. Get noticed. Start living the way you want to live. Start being a SUCCESS!
