HOW TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS

Decision is primarily making- up your mind about something you conceder doing. Choosing the correct choice is your ultimate goal. Right? Well this is how you will get result.

Never make a decision under pressure. Allow yourself to have clear and define understand of what you about to do or say. Take a moment to relax and mediate, and you will see the bigger picture.

Never make a decision when you are in pain. As to the heat of the moment. For example, spousal disagreements, family feud, friends argument. Etc. When decisions are made out of your frustration and anger, it tend to be the wrong one, and end-up causing more harm that good.

Never make a decision to get revenged. Some may not believe this but good always prevail over evil. And when it does, you want to be in a good position to reap what you so. What you want to is commit to the LORD GOD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. (Proverbs 16:1 NIV)

When making a decision, you want to think ahead, in the future, in other words what going to occur down the road, months and years after you made that decision. Think for tomorrow and not for today.

Think about what you want to be or trying to become. Then make that decision gearing towards your future goal and desire, and not what going on in your life at that present moment.

If you follow this simple steps, I believe you will make a good decision in what ever you pursuing. However, remember that the “Lord made everything for his own purposes.” ( Proverbs 16:4 NIV)

Seven steps to moving forward

Situations and circumstances occur on a daily bases, dissolving this dilemma when it happens has seven steps you must concur before moving forward. This requires coming face to face with your present adversity and facing your tragedy head on.

Acceptance of the situation
Learn to accept the things you cannot change. Depending upon the situation you are faced with, it is to be expected that you are going to struggle over the possibility of whether or not you can change and move forward. However, there isn't anything you can do about the past.

Taking responsibility
This is your life; you must make the first move and allow others to attach to your movements. For you to take responsibility for your life, you must acknowledge that your life is your responsibility. No one can live your life for you.

Conditioning the mind
Conditioning your mind simply means to train your mind to do what you desire. Just like anything else you want to master, you need to do it over and over again until it's programmed into your memory system. The mind is like a sponge--it sucks up whatever you give it, and then it becomes a habit.

Making the right decisions
Making the right decision is so valuable that it could alter your whole life in a dramatic way. This is why rushing to make a quick decision can be dangerous to your life-long plan. When making decisions, you must rely on a granted source.

Build a team
You are not the whole puzzle, only part of the puzzle that makes up the entire puzzle. This means that you contribute. You are a part of something larger than yourself; however, you must understand the mission or the objective at hand, however, you are part of a team.

Believing
Believe means to have a firm grip and accept something as true.You wouldn't accomplish anything with a positive mind unless you believe. Just like an ad endorser, if you advertise a product that you yourself do not believe in, then the whole thing is moot, isn't it? It's the same way with life. You cannot go around doing things just for the sake of it and not really putting your heart and soul into it. You have to believe!

Define the new normal
The new norm is the end result. The feeling of victory and success is great when it becomes the new norm. The new norm can be described as old things gone and new things coming alive.

Learning to Move Forward by Letting Go

Let’s face it: we all have negative or bad experiences in the past that we just cannot seem to get past. There are just certain things, that when remembered, always cause anxiety and anger to build up inside us. And we have to admit that sometimes we just don’t want to let go of these negative emotions and memories. Why? Do we want to feel like we’re the victim? Do we need to even the score before we let go?
The truth is, holding on to negative emotions, feelings, thoughts, or experiences drag us down. They drag us down mentally, emotionally, and sometimes, even physically. This mental and emotional distress doesn’t do us any good in life and can affect the way we do things or relate with other people. It can affect how we see our jobs, how we treat our friends, families, and new people who come into our lives. Holding on to past grudges and negativity is much like hiking. Picking up useless items along the way add to the weight you’re carrying and slow you down from reaching the top. That is why it is so important for us to let go of all the negativity, bad experiences, and depression that may have happened in the past, and eventually move forward.
So how does one move forward from all the past negativity? How can you let go and forget about all the difficult, negative experiences? The key in doing so is to train and condition your mind to focus on other things. Focus the goals you have, the things you want to achieve, and the positive things around you. Negative thoughts and feelings may be affecting you in ways you don’t even notice. Whenever you start to feel anger or depression that stems from past events, ask yourself: is this helping my current situation? Is this helping me move forward and achieve my goals? Am I gaining anything by thinking about this? Once you realize that you answer no to all these questions, tell yourself that you are letting go. Breathe and let go.
There is something so beautiful about the power or emotional healing and letting go of the past. Once you’ve trained your mind to focus only the good things and never to dwell on the bad, your outlook and attitude towards life will change – for the better. You’ll relate better to other people, have renewed energy and zest for life, and work with a passion and newfound determination. You’ll start to appreciate the great things you have in your life, and what else it has to offer. You’ll be happy and content, wherever you may be, because inside, you are at peace. Such an outlook and personality will lead you to achieve your goals and accomplish things better than before.
