MAKING DECISIONS

 

By Matata Mercy

What does it mean to make concrete decisions? It means making up your mind to do something that you really want to do.

No procrastinating or any delays you just do what you set out to do. Borrow the Nokia idea of just do it. 

I know making decisions sometimes can prove to be something difficult. Some decisions are hard to make simply because you will be leaving behind a lot or sacrificing a lot and embarking on something new. 

Decision making can be crucial and could determine whether you succeed in your desired goals or not. 

Whether you complete that project that you are passionately working on or not or you will be happy or sad at the end of your life. 

The decisions that you make today will shape your future and where you end up tomorrow. 

Having the knowledge that the decisions that you make today will make your tomorrow is a very powerful revelation and will give you the courage to ensure that you strive to make the right decisions or at least make a decisions. 

Sitting there undecided without making any decision is worse than making a wrong decision.

 According to Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, the biggest risk that you can take is not taking any risk. 

When you make a decision, you are taking a risk and that decision might work out well or it might not work out. 

 If you make a wrong decision and things don’t work out or you encounter failure, you can always pick yourself up and start all over again. 

You will at least pick up the lessons from the failure and then move on. Not making any decision means you are not taking any risks and you are playing it safe and staying in your comfort zone. 

Staying in your comfort zone may feel safe for now but in the long run you will realize that you will not be able to achieve your goals if you do not take action. 

You will only take action when you make decisions first. 

If you decide to quit your job to start your own business, some people might whine about your decision and advice you not to quit your job but if you have already made up your mind and you want to keep moving forward with your idea of starting your own business, nothing will stop you.   

The biggest risk you can take is not making any decision which means you will not achieve anything or not even at least learn from your failures. 

Make that decision if you fail, you will start again. Just do it.
