Looking at the title, you can get the general message of
this post. However, it’s easier said than done.
Business Insider succinctly describes how these choices
create the identity of an individual, that important hurdles such as deciding
where to live, to continue a relationship or remain independent, and taking a
risk on that job you always wanted—all of this defines your place in the world.
That doesn’t mean you should be making choices haphazardly.
This isn’t a TellTale game where you only deal with the
consequences of your actions upon the character you play as for a few hours.
This is your life. It’s permanent (usually).
It’s understandable to avoid making decisions, especially if
you’ve been burned in the past by it.
An article in Psychology Today claims that decision-making
is “something we all need to learn how to do,” and that it’s an essential skill
that takes years to master.
Weigh the pros and cons, think about the outcomes, and
analyze what it is you really want from your choice before you make it.
Encourage yourself to obtain the satisfactory outcomes that
you want from your decisions.
Making decisions has always been really hard for me, but I have learned that over analyzing is sometimes less helpful than simply trusting yourself.
