Me and My Decisions Although we differ in handling decision, we learn better by tracing back how others dealt with it and how they managed to handle it.

People tend to believe in right or wrong timing in dealing with decisions. Me and My Decisions There may be decisions made in rush but come out right, but there are those that result in the negative. Me and My Decisions There are instances that procrastination or delaying few things bring acceptable results, depending on the timing of the decision-making. The latter, however, should not be taken as a good example in all other life undertakings. When do you know if you are about to commit a right or a wrong decision? Nobody knows better your situation except you. Hence, it would be helpful to look at the bigger picture and analyze the impact of your decisions. The following are just some ways that you can use as guide: Any decision-making process should come with facts.
• We don’t decide based on impulse or
gut feel most especially if the decision would mean a complete turn-around of your life, for example, your college course or curriculum exit. Have those helpful facts guide you on your next move. The following are just some ways that you can use as guide: Weigh the pros and cons.
• In school, you are being trained to be
responsible and accountable to all your actions. You cannot blame anybody for your decisions except for some setup. The moment you said yes to indulge yourself with vices, you are embracing its consequences as well. The same way when you resolved to yourself to finish studies and have a stable career in the future, you are up to face the challenges that come with it. The following are just some ways that you can use as guide: Consult people if you must.
• Nobody has the monopoly of knowledge. There
are times that even experts must seek the help of their family, friends and colleagues. In your context, you can ask help from your trusted adults like Guidance Counselor, teacher or parents. However, keep in mind that your experiences are different from the experiences of the people around you so be particular in terms of what is doable and what is not in your setup. The following are just some ways that you can use as guide: Own whatever decisions you make. • At the end of the day, you are responsible on how you define your life. At this point, you cannot delegate the important decisions for your life to others and blame them if they are wrong. Blaming is never a solution to correct any wrong actions. Take charge of your choices and be prepared for whatever it costs. However, be mindful of the limitations of your actions as there are areas where you still need to depend on some people like your parents or guardians. The following are just some ways that you can use as guide: Remember that you are a work in progress. • Would you know anybody who did not commit any mistake in the past? All of us, even your parents, teachers, Guidance Counselor or classmates make mistakes at times, but it should not stop us from becoming the better version of ourselves. Despite considering the facts and weighing the pros and cons, there are times that we still fail to make the right decisions and, that’s totally OK. We can use our insights and learnings from our mistakes and that’s how we make sense out of the past experiences. It should improve our perspective and make us more mature. You Can Do It!
