Making decisions.. huhh...

As I see and feel, life is a continuous process whereby you are involved by performing actions and making decisions. Most of the time you spend in life goes into making decisions, smaller or big. Decisions which you make affects your life, and sometimes these affects are unanticipated and unprecedented. You are, where you are today, because of the aggregate of decisions you made so far. Decisions are the element which drives your actions, and as said, your actions define who you are.

Are we really making the effective decisions? Now this involves at least some delving into issue of how we make decisions. Factors coming into play when we consciously or unconsciously make decisions are (the list may not be comprehensive)

1. your understanding about yourself

2. your understanding about the environment

I have intentionally mentioned only two points. Making things simple, any more factors you can think of can be placed under these two.

Understanding about yourself includes your priorities, future plans, your expectations from others etc. Understanding your environment involves understanding external factors like family, workplace, society etc and their expectations from you.

Choosing your attitude

Sometime back I read somewhere which goes like this " sometimes you cannot change the work, but you can change the attitude you carry to do the work" going by this it really does feels motivating if you start looking things positively and understand what the situation demands. This not only brings harmony at workplace, but also gives peace of mind and improved productivity. It is the attitude which determines level of self-motivation.
