 Taking decision is a everyday must!

Taking decisions is the deciding factor for our fate to unfold itself. It’s the only thing that matters at the end of the day. And yet one art no one learns inspite of going to best of schools (including business) is “taking decisions”. We do make a “choice” but mostly because we don’t have “a choice”. Sounds paradoxical? Just close your eyes and go through all your choices. The result I am sure will surprise you. That we were forced either by circumstances or people around us to make the choice. And the funny part is we end up believing that it was our decision. Like as per the marketing technique the salesman asks “do you want to take the red one or blue?”

“Do you want it delivered at home or office?”

You think you took the call, but very subtly he left you with “no choice” but a choice to buy it. Look at it. Try to go through your experiences. Yes, smile should lighten our face with this insight.

Then when can you take a call?

Only and only when you know what you want. Whenever we are driven by temptations of sale offers (for example), sales talk or our weakness then we end up going for something that we don’t want but are eager to get. No doubt we end up with things that we don’t want and then wonder “why I am not happy inspite of possessing so much and working so hard?”

Because we never got (most of the time) that we really wanted or needed. So, let’s know our wants first. Take a paper and write a list of things, events that you want but be specific. Like “I want to be very rich”

“I want to be famous”

“I want to get  a good name”

Will not do. Instead be specific. Say “I want to earn Rs.X every month etc”

“I want to be known as a good musician”

“I want people to remember me/recognize me as a person who is intelligent/hardworking/loyal/punctual etc.

Now regarding attitudes, you need to work on them with rebirth meditation, hands-on and meditation.

And for things, you need to work for them. This part is easy (for independent and responsible people ofcourse! For lazy people waiting for others – no comments as of now).
