Our entire life is based on taking decisions, some of them are very trivial and other very important. Since we wake up we choose which clothes are we going to wear, which activities are we going to do, which movie are we going to see, which food are we going to eat. Every action we do is a decision.
But as I mentioned before, there are some decisions that are fundamental in our life: accepting a new job, moving to another country or city, continue or not with a relationship, which career to study. They are very important because they will determine our future in many aspects.
When we find ourselves in a situation where we do not know what to do, is typical that we start asking opinions to our family or to our closest friends. But sometimes we finish more confused than the beginning. And the main reason is that we are all different. Every person has their own history of life, experiences, values, interests, fears, etc.
Here are some points that will help you to make an analysis:
- Stay calm and focus.
- Make a list of advantages and disadvantages of every option you have.
- Avoid judgements.
- Keep in mind what is really important for you in your life and see which option is more attached with it.
- Imagine how you feel taking option "A" or "B", which is the emotion that you have?
- Evaluate your analysis.
- Make a decision.
Once the final decision is taken, please do not regret and stop thinking "if I have choose the other option, maybe I will ..."
There is no way back! Keep working and give the best you have. Remember, there is not a good or a bad decision, there are only consequences and we need to take them with responsability and maturity. This is part of us, is part of our life and make us grow.
