Remember when we were little and
most of our decisions were made by parental figures? Most of these decisions
weren’t life altering back then although at times they seemed otherwise. Now
that we are adults the decisions we make are more important. Having been an
adult for a number of years I can tell you that decision-making never stops. Once
you have realized and accept this then you can move on to the action phase.
There are many different methods to making the right decision for you. Some
people create a pros and cons list, others are more impulsive. There is no
right way to making the perfect decision for you.
Recently in class I was asked to decide what I
value most. We made a list of 10 qualities or things we wanted in our ideal
life and some of my things included stability, independence, support, and
motivation. We had to then narrow it down to five, three and finally one. You
cannot imagine the stress levels of myself and my fellow classmates when making
this decision for a class activity. In the end I valued my independence more
than anything. I now always carry the note-card as a reminder and I have also
learned a nifty way to making decisions. Try not to rush into decisions
especially important ones otherwise you will always wonder what-if. When in
doubt seek advice but realize that final decision is in your hands. “Adulting”
can be hard but I am positive that you can and will get through this.
