HOW TO MAKE CONFIDENT DECISIONS
Today I want to share with you a trick that I do, to make confident decisions. All throughout my life, I’ve always had trouble making decisions, and that’s because I lacked the confidence that whatever decision I was going to make was the right one.
In life, there are so many options. Like career paths, you could be an Engineer or you could be the President of The United States or you could be a Doctor. I mean, there are so many options out there. Same thing with jobs, what job do you choose? How do you know where to work? Do you work at the factory or do you work at McDonald’s or do you work at some business place?
There are so many options in life. It is hard, it really is and trust me, I deal with it all the time, but I found a simple trick that has helped me to make the decisions confidently, knowing that this is going to be it no matter what. So I want to share that with you.
It is basically your goals. Before you can make the right decisions in life, you must have set goals, and by goals I mean, what is it that you want out of life. Who do you want to be? Basically because, not what you want to be, but who do you want to be? Who do you want to be as a person? Who do you want to be as a professional? Who do you want to be as a human being? What are your goals?
You must have a detailed goal of who you want to be, and where you want to go in life. So once you decide what you want to be or who you want to be, then this is how you do it.
When you’re faced with the decision, what you’re going to do is, look at your goals, and then look at the question at hand, and what you’re going to do is ask yourself this question. Is doing this going to take me to my goal or take me away from my goals? If the answer is away from your goals, you don’t do that. If this moves you toward your goals, that’s what you do.
That I have found to be the most effective way to make decisions, because you’ve got to think about this. A lot of people, they create a life around, what’s already happening, but instead why don’t you create a life, around the one thing that you want. If what you want in life is time with your family, friends and all of that. Whatever you do in life, whatever decisions you make, must be toward this.
In other words, if your goal is to have more time with your family, you don’t go and get yourself a job where you work sixty hours a week. That’s not conducive to your goal. So instead you must find a way to work somehow, where you have more time with your family, because this is your goal. So that’s just an example, so you could understand what I’m trying to say.
For example, if your goal is to lose weight. When it comes down to eating, you have a choice. Do you eat this, or do you eat that? So that you could come back to your goal, my goal is to lose weight, so if I eat this, that’s going to take me away from my goal, but if I eat this, it’s going to move me toward my goals.
For our purposes of confidence, a good way to do it is with the things that you tell yourself. If I tell myself this, it’s going to move me away from my goals, but if I tell myself, I’m positive. I’m good-looking. I love my life. I am confident.’ If I tell myself those things, it’s going to move me toward my goals.
So that’s how you make decisions confidently. With the confidence that you know you made the right decision because above all, no matter what you’re doing in life, it’s all about what you’re trying to achieve, your one goal. That’s why you must have defined goals, of what it is that you want. Who do you want to be?
A lot of people don’t do that. They don’t set their goals, and it hurts them, because then when it comes down to making a decision, they can’t make one. So with that I leave you.
