Let’s face it, many of us don’t make the best and perfect decisions in life. We are all guilty of making wrong decisions, whether it is a minor one that barely affects us or a major one that impacts both us personally and our surroundings at large. We make so many individual decisions and judgment on a daily basis than we even consciously realize.

It seems incredibly simple to look at the results of a decision from an outsider perspective or position and analyze how things went wrong. But when you’re the person involved and it is up to you to make a decision or conclusion, it can be a much more challenging task. As the age-old expression goes, “hindsight is 20/20,” We like to think we’re professionals and specialists at handling problems because we are seeing it from a distance, we believe we can logically deduce exactly why things proceeded the way they did. But when we’re faced with a making a decision in the heat of the moment, things can become dramatically different and more difficult.

Focus on the Right Things ( Avoid Focussing on Things You Cannot Change)
The great, and very successful, Henry Ford once said, “If you think you can do a thing, or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.” Our intent is everything. If you visualize that something is easy, it ends up getting easy. But when you think something is impossible, you make it so. This is what Henry Ford meant in his quote. Whether you think you can or cannot do something, you make it so by your belief. So focus on what you can do, not what you cannot do. This is highly important and is arguably the most important habit and mindset to get into when trying to make good and accurate decisions.

Read Wide and Learn More
A lot of people tend to think that immediately you are through with schooling you are also done educating yourself. This is an incorrect way to perceive life.

If you’re not a reader, listen to audio books. We have been blessed to be living in an era where digital audio books are around us.

The Only Constant Thing in Life is Change, Don’t be Afraid of it
The fact and truth of the matter are that we all have the strength to withstand the most challenging and demanding things that life throws at us. It’s just a matter of reaching deep within ourselves and discovering our inner strength. It begins by logically analyzing what we’re doing, tweaking the things that aren’t working while sticking to the ones that are working perfectly.
Like Henry Ford said, “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.” This is always true on most occasions. If you’re too fearful of change, you might not progress. Change is not a bad thing. It leads to new beginnings and opportunities. And the truth is, sometimes we need a door to close before we discover many other doors around us. So fear not, my friend. Walk through that door and don’t be afraid to open up the new doors when they present themselves to you. It is of utmost importance to get over your fear of change in order to feel bold and strong enough to make good and perfect decisions.
