Great Thinkers Choose the Best from the Worst
Posted by: | CommentsWe have choices in every thing we do. It is a qualification of a great thinker to be able to make the right choice in the situations they are faced with. It isn’t just luck but a matter of good reasoning which allows these people to scan the options and make the right choice.
There are several things you can do to improve your decision making process to ensure your choices are right for you.
First, get emotion out of the decision making process. If you angry or over excited give your self some time before making a choice. If you made a mistake and can not change the past decision get over it and move on. Going over and over the “what ifs” in your head will keep you in the problem and away from the recovery process and moving to a better decision to fix the issue.
Second, educate yourself and look into options and choices, never think there is one way to go or that the way someone else went is the way you have to do it.
Third, listen to you inner voice and trust your intuition. Most of your life experience is held within your subconscious honestly and the instinctive choice is most often the right one. Many times if you over think or take others opinions or outside influences into consideration you will regret your choice.
Fourth, always make the choice that you can live with. If you have conviction for your choice you won’t have a need to apologize for it later. Change is the motto of the year but you can’t elect someone who wants to make changes and sit back and watch.
Being a part of the change requires all of us to start making better choices and find the diamond in the rough throughout all of our decisions moving forward. Most people have the right answer within them and only reach out to others so they don’t have to take full responsibility for their choices if they are wrong. Stop trying to find a way out or defer to others and take your life and it’s path more seriously.
Making a good decision on your own is rewarding and empowering. Remember it is not always the shortest route to a decision that is correct sometimes the best route is a longer road.
You Faked it Long Enough – It’s Time to Really “Make” it!
Posted by: | CommentsYou often hear people say “fake it til you make it.” Well it is time to stop faking it and really make it. The saying was meant to be an internal thought not an external claim to keep you focused on the goals. The misuse of this by externally faking it to others is just plain old fraud and not what this statement was originally intended for. It was really a creative manifestation motto not a means to manipulate anyone externally.
Stop faking it and really start making it. If you continue to say you are something and doing absolutely nothing to actually achieve becoming that claim you’re not living in reality. For example, if you have been telling people you graduated from college and you never did, go get that degree and become what you said you were.
Too many people took advantage of this statement “fake it til you make it” and used it the wrong way. It is not too late to make your past statements true. Put in the work and effort to follow through on your claims or stop making untrue statements.
