Which, how, where and when will always be the question left for someone to make decisions.

Choices can either make or break you.

At some point an individual is faced with indecision while making his next move. He is faced with the choice of which foot he takes first as the first step from the right foot does much wonders to his choice of action.

Sometimes it takes a while before we make up our minds on a particular thing.

A friend of mine who rented a shop outside the market space, did that as a result of choosing outside the market “I want to extend my shop outside the market space” the decision came and it was a nice idea.

We went and paid for a shop and made everything ready for the shop to commence but I discovered a postponed operation. The choice of starting was laid on his hands but the consequences of his choices was what he was considering.

What if we start and it ends up not yielding a positive result, what if the place is not as secured as the market space since there are no securities like the market?
All these questions came because of fear.

All this while, he never thought of the positive side of it,
Like “what if you will make more money out there than in the market since there is zero competition there” and what if the place is even more secure since there are residential houses around the place.

Life is always placing 2 sides of it for us to make our choice. It is always good or bad, there are no 2 ways about it and the most amazing thing is that a choice must be made regardless of the situation.

We finally went ahead to start operating the new shop not minding whatever consequences that will come with the choice of starting the shop.

But the first day turned out to be amazing as our expectations were beaten by the outcome.

We fail to make good choices many times because of the following reasons.

Pressure from peers: Whatever you do, do not allow what other people do to influence your choice. We all are wired with our individual capacity.
So, every choice made by people comes as a result of their capacity to be able to cope and at the same time manage whatever consequences that will come as a result of the choices they made. Do not be deceived, what Mr A is capable of surviving might kill Mr B so be warned. Weigh your capacity before making any choice.

Fear of the unseen: We sometimes make decisions on things that are not supposed to be taken simply because we fear what might come afterwards. That's the reason why we ought to be more careful when making these choices. Life itself is a risk. So just hope for a positive unseen and take actions but make sure your choices and actions are guarded by karma so it doesn't have to stand against you on the day of reckoning.

High expectations: We venture into something just because we expect a more special treatment from it. We often get heart broken simply because we thought it would work in our favour.
Don't assume that because it worked for others it will be the same with you, don't think that because you are smart, more qualified or even more educated gives you a better chance at making choices.

Only option: This is the last and worst of them all.
When you are left with no choice than the one left, it's always very bad but then it doesn't mean the end of the road as there is always another choice that we fail to see as a result of pressure because of our lackadaisical attitude towards great opportunities and choices presented to us.

Make choices guided with the ability of controlling whatever consequences that will come up with it.
