How to Make Better Decisions in Life - FamilyVision Column
Introduction
Ben always danced to his own rhythm. Ignoring the advice of both parents and teachers, his motto was: "I do it my way." Unfortunately, this led to a series of poor decisions and a lack of success. Even as the county guard closed the door to Ben's cell, he defiantly shouted, "I'm the man! You can't make me do anything." Yet, the reality was clear as the prison lights went out, leaving Ben in darkness.
Understanding Poor Decision-Making
Why do some continue to make poor choices? It's a phenomenon seen in everyone from celebrities to government officials and business leaders. Regardless of wealth or status, many find themselves ensnared in a pattern of bad decision-making. This cycle often extends to our family and friends, despite receiving wise advice.
The Importance of Good Decisions
Teaching better decision-making is crucial. Anthony Robbins, author of "Awaken the Giant Within," highlights that good decisions are essential for a happy life. Similarly, Brian Tracy, a bestselling author, argues that considering the future helps in making better present decisions, improving one’s quality of life.
Identifying the Problem
As a young advisor and college professor, I often hear students assert, "I'm grown." This attitude suggests a resistance to advice, leading to repeated poor decisions. There are generally two ways to break this cycle: maturity and experience. Through making mistakes, a wise individual gains insight into the consequences, benefiting from good decision-making techniques.
Steps to Better Decision-Making
Everyone, regardless of background, can improve their decision-making by following these steps:
1. Define the problem or issue.
2. Research the matter thoroughly.
3. Discuss it with trusted individuals who have faced similar situations.
4. Consider at least two alternatives.
5. Select the best option based on your values.
6. Accept the consequences and move on.
Choosing the Right Path
Making the right decision is challenging and often goes unnoticed until a mistake is made. Les Brown, author of "How to Become the Person You Always Wanted to Be?"No Matter What the Obstacle," explains that your values, not dictated by others, provide consistency and help you stay on track toward your dreams.
Conclusion
Decision-making is a vital skill to enhance the quality of life. By understanding the impact of choices and employing effective strategies, anyone can break free from the cycle of poor decisions and move toward a brighter future.
