Decision Making: An lmportant Aspect of Human's life

12 days ago

Decision making is a crucial aspect in a man's life. The outcome of such decision can either have a positive or negative impact in one's life. But irrespective of all this, I believe life is a risk. Sometimes we take decisions hoping things will turn out fine. It's highly important we think well before taking a decision.

Some people have taken decisions they ended up regretting all through their life time. That's why it's adviseable not to rush in taking decisions, give it a deep thought before taking decisions, weigh the pros and cons of the decisions before making a move. If the negative effect out-weigh the positive effects, it's adviseable to reconsider before taking such decision. Consult knowledgeable friends and family members who can guild you when planning to make decisions and lastly pray before taking a decision.

Countless of times I have prayed about a decision that I'm planning to take and sometimes while praying I loose my peace, which is an indication to me that the decisions I'm about making is a bad one and that it won't turn out well. Whenever ever I noticed such feeling I do opt out from taking such decision immediately.

I remembered a few years ago after I finished my NYSC, I went back home. I stayed at home for about six months. During that period, I was seeking for a job but I could not get any well paid job then, so I decided to work in a private school close to the house while expecting a better job. The most funny part is that I don't have time to myself. The fact is that my parents are quite protective. Once I stepped out of the house they always questioned me and not only that, they will keep on calling me till I return back to the house. Things grew worst that I couldn't even take decisions for myself, they believe their decision is always the best for me and any time I try to make them see things from my perspective, they remind me that I'm being fed and sheltered for free and that I don't really understand the rudiments of life.

After few months, I took a decision that I'm leaving the house that I need to face life squarely and never to stay at my comfort zone. Before taking such decision I saved some money and also discussed with some friends and family who guilded me as regards to my decision.

When I discussed my decision with my parents, it did not went well with them that's because I told them I'm moving to another state. They kept giving me reasons why I needed to stay back. But I told them that I have prayed about it and I have peace about it that all will be well.

They did not believe me, they thought I was joking until the next day when I went to the market to buy food stuffs with the money I saved. That's when they took me seriously. Just immediately I came back from the market I pack my load and the next day, I relocated to another state to face the reality of life.

Despite the challenges I encountered, yet I'm grateful to God that I took such decision at that point in my life. Ever since then, they do see me as someone who is matured and understand what life entails. Infact my parents do call to seek advice from me as related to family decisions. The decision I took then made me understand that some things won't change until you leave your comfort zone, it was indeed a season of change and I'm glad that everything ended well.
