5 Tips For Being More Decisive

A Hallway with Multiple Paths

#1 Believe you will win.
What are the chances all the decisions you’ve made up until now have all been good decisions? And yet, most people when reflecting on their lives, are pretty satisfied with the results. Part of the reason is that very few decisions in life are irreversible. Even if something takes us off course, we can usually find our way back again.

A good decision is the echo of good judgment. Good judgment is the echo of experience. And experience is the echo of bad decisions. So no matter what you do, making a decision and mindfully acting on it will eventually translate into a positive outcome. Each path has its own reward. Even as one door closes, another will open.

A Broken Eye

Has someone ever wronged you before? So much so, that all you could think about was revenge? Did you keep replaying the scenario over and over again in your head, unable to let go? I know what that’s like. To be dizzy with rage, to feel your blood seethe with hatred, to desperately beg your body for sleep when you couldn’t take it anymore.

I believe the first and best course of action is to try to talk to the person. For most of my life, nothing has done more to quickly settle matters than to open the lines of communication. Unfortunately, if the other party won’t acknowledge any wrongdoing, it makes it even harder to move on. Even worse, they may not be willing to engage in any dialogue altogether.

You might look at what can be done within the bounds of the legal system. Will taking this person to court resolve the dispute? You might also try winning people over to your side to obtain some sort of social justice. But what if it’s not possible to go to court? And what if your thirst for justice still isn’t quenched?
