Right or Wrong

Day by day we think… Hour by hour we feel… Minute by minute we imagine… But in a split second everything could either be a milestone or a disaster!

Decision making is an outcome of cognitive process through a collection of several thoughts and alternatives for the execution of an action or an opinion. It is the hardest emotional and mental challenge. Tons of neurons scientifically speaking are needed to come up with a very clear decision, a very firm action and a very powerful opinion. We decide most of our time. We use time, in making a decision. Sometimes, it would take us only seconds to decide, and sometimes it would even take us years just to decide on a certain matter. However the predicament of having to decide is if the decision we have come up with is right or wrong.

Most mediocre people decide not by themselves but through seeking advice from the group where they belong. Do you think they can get a better decision asking people with the same level of thinking as they are? We cannot tell… People think differently. There are average people who can assume better than people who belong to the elite class of society.

Our brains may follow the same physiologic processes, but each differs in capacity to think. Our manner of thinking adjusts with the environment, the people we associate with, the books we read of which information influences us, the news and with the music we listen to. We are emotionally and mentally affected with those things. We unconsciously notice that our brain adapts with the atmosphere we are in. However, we still think on our own. It is just that we cannot control the situation.

There are times that we are scared to decide. We are hesitant to say a word. We are uncertain to do things because we don’t know what will happen in effect to the decision we make. We don’t know if our decision is right or wrong. We think of what people’s reaction will be. We tend to think of just anything that will prevent us from saying our opinion and keeping us from taking action. We are over analyzing… We are being pessimistic. We let our thoughts remain inside a closed box. Nevertheless, we still decide not to speak out our own thoughts.

Decision-Making may not be an answer to weigh if certain things are right or wrong, what it does is, it helps us deal with every rising circumstances that we fear facing.

You are responsible for every situation, and by hook or by crook YOU will HAVE to decide no matter what. It will be anyone’s nature to give a decision orally or verbally. It is your decision. The decision lies in you. It’s your responsibility to have a choice, take a stand… and DECIDE. The next challenge after deciding to take a stand is: Are you prepared for the potential effects of the decision you have made?
