With numerous options available to us today, making decisions does not come very easily to most. We all aspire to make sound decisions that would enrich our experiences and make our life's journey seem worthwhile.
Whether it is deciding where to study, what to study, where to eat or whom to date, it all boils down to making a choice between several available options. We make choices all the time. Even when we choose not to do anything, it is a choice that we make - of being idle. No decision is also a decision... a decision to stick to what is.
I have understood that decisions are not perfect or imperfect. A lot of life, I guess, is about trial and error. You win some and you lose some. Only if one could peek into the future and know the story ahead of time, decison making would be much easier - Wishful thinking! Life doesn't give away the story, however. We need to live the story and only then does it unfold step by step.
We take a shot at something and at times the choices we make prove to become great opportunities for advancement. While at other times when our chosen paths do not offer much happiness or success we seem to develop a feeling of something gone wrong. So how does one deal with the after-effects of a decision gone wrong?
Well, for starters, there is something called ACCEPTANCE. We have to accept what has alreay been. Once we have accepted that certain things have not gone the way we had planned, it is important to steer clear of negative thoughts such as regret and a sense of failure.
If a certain path has failed to meet our expectation, it doesn't mean that we have failed. So the second step is to not take things too personally. We have to understand that some outcomes are out of our control. What shape our choices will take is decided by the Universe. We can study for the exam but the result is not in our hands. So LETTING GO is a great thing to do. Instead of dwelling on the past and cribbing over spilt milk, it is beneficial to look ahead and create a better experience in the present by making new decisons. One of my favourite qoutes is, "If you want to have differently, you should do differently." Doing things the same way will get you the same result.
Life is not a film that can be edited. Although we can't go back and alter the scenes, we can always create new ones!! Life often gives multiple chances to re-create our dreams.
So if you are reminiscing over the past and feel that certain choices have not worked out, make new choices and begin anew! Life has something in store for everyone. The Universal supply is never short of miracles. You never know when, how and where you will find success. If a goal, a career choice or a love affair doesn't work, don't sweat - try another. Success might be waiting for you around the corner, but you need to be open to change!
