When it comes to making the best decisions, you matter. Your values matter. Your goals matter. And your future matters.
Make your decisions based on what you want to achieve for your life, not what other people want you to achieve for yourself.
Because you are here to live your life, to create your own world, to make a difference. And you can't get there by using other people's decisions to live your life, to do your work. That is not living, but existing.
Remember, you are not here to exist, you are here to live, to grow, to conquer yourself. To make your life happen, you must learn how to make better decisions.
If you do not know how to start, or where to start, you can start with these quotes from Dr. Rob Yeung, a business psychologist
Take care of your environment. ''Simply living or working in an untidy, chaotic, unstructured environment may hamper people's decision- making.'' Where you work represents who you are. If you think you can get away with an untidy environment, you are kidding yourself. Do not call it creativity. Call it lazivity.
Focus on what is important.
''Having more options actually bewilders and overwhelms us- it makes it harder for us to make any decsion at all.'' We have more than we want. But to get what you want, to make a better decision, you must know what you do not want. If not, you are going to be lost. When that happens, nothing gets done.
Go for a walk.'Simply going for a walk boosts creativity. Being outdoors also boosts creativity.' If you want to make a better decision, just go for a walk. You will feel better when you are back.
“The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.”- Orison Swett Marden
There are opportunities everywhere. Your opportunity is not in your environment. It is not in your house. It is not in your “luck or chance.” The life you are seeking, the growth you are seeking, the happiness you are seeking, the love you are seeking, the togetherness you are seeking is in you. It is in your soul. It is in your suffering. It is in the dark.
When you listen to your suffering, you can learn a lot from it. The Scripture says, “And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character and hope.”
The opportunity you are looking for is not in your environment. It is in your suffering. It is in your character. It is in hope. So whenever you are faced with problems, you should be happy for facing them. Instead of running away from your problems, why not use the opportunity to connect with yourself, to bring out the best in yourself, to love yourself even more. Why not? What are you waiting for?
Robert Collier was right when he said, “In every adversity there lies the seed of an equivalent advantage. In every defeat is a lesson showing you how to win the victory next time.” Whatever you are going through, it is not here to stop you from reaching your goals. Do not ignore your suffering. It has a lot to teach you. All you need to do is to just make room for it to happen. It is your responsibility to do it for yourself, for your future. Do not limit your life. You have a goal to achieve. You have your life to live. And to do that, you need to leave your safe zone. You need to challenge yourself. The only way to get your opportunity is to make sure that your feelings about your opportunity never defeat you. Because if you allow your emotions to control you, you miss your golden opportunity. Do not miss it.
