decisions

In life, there are many decisions that we have to make.. from the smallest matters such as deciding what to eat, what to drink, what to wear..to deciding major stuffs such as to get married or not to..haha. In simpler words, we will encounter many instances in our everyday lives that entail us to decide. Personally, I think it’s not easy to decide. At times, it’s so difficult to even decide what to eat and what to wear that I end up taking everything out of my closet and yet, in the end, I still can’t decide what to wear...hard isn’t it?

I remembered when I had to decide on which course I want to take after my SPM..I had a hard time. I was torn with so many choices and it was worsened by my own self – I didn’t know what I want to do! So what happened was I got excited to take course A.. then when i woke up the next morning..I changed my mind and I chose to take Course B.. then when someone told me to check out another course..I got excited to take up Course C.. and my head kept on spinning! It was such a headache!

Whether we realize it or not, whatever things that we decide shape our lives. For example, if we choose to eat spicy food when we know that we can’t stand them, we may end up suffering from stomach ache..which we will not have to endure f we didn’t decide to eat spicy food. If we choose to wear a t-shirt when we know that the weather will be cold, we may end up freezing (not good..trust me) which we may not have to suffer if we decided to wear a jacket instead. It’s even more difficult when we need to decide whether to change or to stick to our old habit.. Saying that ‘I want to change’ is one thing.. but CHANGING ie the action being taken is another thing.. are we bold enough? Are we ready? Are we able to endure what the people around us will say? Sometimes we want to change but because of various doubts..we decide not to.. and again our lives are affected.. So i guess these examples is enough to show that what we choose to do or decide on will shape the course of our everyday lives and even our future.

It’s easy to say that in order to decide, we have to list all the pros and the cons.. but do we really have time to do that? I mean most of the time we need to decide on the spot and without rational and intelligent judgment, we may end up making wrong decisions. This is another thing.. I feel that making wrong decisions are not that bad..because everyone makes mistakes..nobody’s perfect. Maybe, the only problem is when we keep on making wrong choices.. well if this happens, i think we need to reflect and see what went wrong. I mean we don’t want to get stuck in bad situations caused by our own decisions and then live miserably, do we? Just my thought..
