Our life is based on our decisions. Everything we do is the result of a choice, but how do our decisions affect our life and happiness?
The decisions we make every day can affect our life in two directions: positive and negative. A simple decision can destroy us, or give us success.
We wake up in the morning and we start making decisions. We have to choose what to wear and what to eat. And throughout the day we will continue making decisions, and most of the time we even don't realize we are doing decisions as so small and insignificant they seem.
Some decisions we make are of our own choosing, but many others are forced upon us.
Good and bad decisions in life sometimes shape our future for lifetimes to come. There are cases where a wrong decision in early life can ruin the whole life from that point on. As well, there are decisions made in early life that lead to a life of happiness and fulfilment. However, at the time we make a decision the reason is obscure to us.
In certain decisions we make ourselves feel right about making them, while other decisions leave us with feelings of misgiving and doubts. Usually when there is doubt, such decisions do not turn out right for us.
Sometimes it may be a split second decision and often that correct decision saves our life. Sometimes we may have a long time to make a decision.
Life, however, has a strange way of putting us in a position where we are forced ultimately to make a decision one way or the other.
Many decisions we make are mental conclusions based on knowledge and experience as well as the nature of our character.
What is even worse is to make a bad decision and in the face of good corrective advice ride it out to a disaster. The Titanic is a classic example of this.
We are mind and the mind requires stimulation, and decisions keep the mind alert and active. Often mental agility and fast decisions keep us alive.
Our decisions build the structure of our life. Our decisions make us feel how human we are, because we all, as humans, have errors. Some of our decisions can be wrong, but we can learn from them, take what is good, and throw away what is not.
Thousands of decisions can be made every day, and each of them is what makes the difference in our lives.
All decisions are based on one end conclusion and that is to find happiness in life and that is life.
We can try to avoid making choices by doing nothing, but even that is a decision.
Keep in mind, the two directions our decisions can take, positive or negative.
