Decision making is a part of our everyday life - you will agree that this is almost a cliche.When I switch on the computer is a basic example - I had to choose either to sleep or to be awake at this wee hour of the day (3:02 AM btw).
Switching off, closing or ending something, either let it be a laptop, a journal, a career, a relationship or even a door is also a decision.
Noticeably, humans have the not so good habit of abruptly deciding, specially when they are mad and their feelings are heightened. Then come the end of the day, tragically, there's nothing else to be blamed but these poor wordless human emotions.
So how can you know if your decision is promising and right?
If the outcome of your decision looks perfect?
Or if the house you are to purchase is 50% less its original price?
What if the result is a disaster and suddenly the house is haunted?
Will you say that your choice is a big mistake?
Apparently, there's another cliche : We learn from our mistake.
I disagree. No, decisions are not mistakes.
I believe better in this though - we learn to walk slowly after getting bruises from running.
Every decision we make should not be labeled as either right or wrong. These are not like exams where a definite answer is needed, where your answer of
"a) Whole Pizza"
for the bonus question of
"What is a full moon?"
is sadly wrong.
Decisions are chances.
A chance to get a longer sleepy dream or to wake up early and embrace the warm sunshine.
A chance to fulfill your dreams or to end up cursing your boss.
A chance to restart a new journey together or to look for new separate keys.
Decisions are chances; chances to learn and unlearn.
Everyone will have their own turn to smile, turn to laugh, turn to laugh harder, turn to cry and a chance to cry harder.
After a bit of running, you will have to learn the art of walking. It will make sense to cherish each step and you will see that it is worth hundredfolds to glance once in a while on each footprints.
One thing to keep in mind though, is that for every chance to decide - we are given enough time.
It's also a chance we have by more than just a right.
So you have the chance everyday to say that it can be a start or it's getting to a start of something,
or it can also be a chance to truthfully say it's over or it's getting to "it's over".
It's a choice you have. A chance you and I are granted.
