Five Ways To Make Good Decisions In Life And Business
If you know how to make good decisions then you can write
your life, you have accomplished a great deal more than a
person who knows how to write books. Have you been able to
bend yourself to your own will? If you have than you have
done more than the man who has ruled empires and nations.
Getting control of yourself is probably the biggest
challenge you will ever have. It takes making the decision
to do so on a consistent basis. So, just how do you learn to
make good decisions?
- Consequences
First, consider the consequences of your actions. Let long
term goals overshadow the thrill of short-term benefits.
Write down on a piece of paper both the short-term and long-
term benefits and the short-term and long-term consequences
of any action.
- Time
Take the necessary time you need to think a decision out to
its conclusion. This does not mean procrastinate. That will
put you in danger of not controlling your life and/or your
business. You will not be able to steer either to the
desired outcome.
- Counsel
It is good to learn from people who are experts in the area
that you are trying to make a decision in. Ask about the
benefits and drawbacks that they have experienced. It is
important to keep in mind that although others may give
advice it is still your task to make a final decision and
you must bear the responsibility of it.
- Conscience
Let your conscience be your guide. Of course, not all
consciences are created equal. Embark on a course of
conscience training. From great people great things are
expected. If you are looking to live an abundantly happy
life you must pattern your decisions in alignment with the
great basic principles such as love for your fellow man,
honesty, kindness, chasteness and having a giving spirit.
- Consider Others
Many decisions we make affect others. Avoid deliberately
making decisions that are going to negatively affect your
relationship with your family or friends. Of course, if
someone is trying to lead you down an unwise path you would
have to separate yourself from that bad course and in this
way your relationship may be damaged with that person. But,
better it is damaged with them than going against what you
know to be right and damaging the relationship you have with
yourself.
