Most of us spend half of our life regretting our past decisions. When we don’t get success after taking a particular decision, we start to blame the decision and ourselves, thinking we took the wrong decision and that’s why we didn’t get success. Here, I say that none of your decisions are wrong. Each and every decision in your life is right.

It’s better you work harder for the decision you made in the past and be extremely confident about it. Still, there are many decisions which are not perfect. But those decisions are extremely necessary in order to make the next decisions – more mature and perfect decisions. When you make any decision and if you fail, it gives you plenty of learnings and experience, which is pretty important to your success in the future. These learnings give you immense exposure to success and ensure success in future.

Why All Decisions Matter

I want to clear one thing: I am not talking about universal wrong decisions – those decisions which are always wrong in all circumstances, such as when you decide to commit a crime or robbery. The decisions I’m talking about are general decisions, which we take in order to get progress and prosperity in our life.

But it becomes a problem when we confuse ourselves so much with decision-making. When we get stuck in a million thoughts and keep regretting the decisions we made in the past, we lose momentum. If you keep one thing in your mind – that all decisions are right – and work to make your last decision as perfect as possible, then the result won’t be so bad. You would feel all the motivation and keep moving forward.

How all decisions are right

Imagine you are having an offer to do a freelance job, but you have to pay some amount in advance to that company in the form of a membership fee. Now, you are in a dilemma of mind as fraud is possible in such circumstances. You are unable to make a decision what to do. Should you pay money and start as a freelancer, or not pay money and remain without work?

Here I say: your both decisions are right. If you pay money and the work is genuine, your decision is proved right. In case your money is lost and you don’t get any output because the company committed fraud, you still made the right decision because you got a new learning. You would save millions of rupees in future by ignoring such companies because you already have experience with such fraudulent operations.

If you go with the other option by not enrolling for the job, then it’s good as well. This way, you’ve saved your money by not giving it to the company. Further, you could search for other opportunities which are free of cost. To strengthen your decision-making excellence, explore our Decision-Making Excellence prompts which help you make confident, deliberate choices in uncertain situations. I mean to say your all decisions are right. Just don’t blame your decision on your failure. Try to extract the winning part, the learning part of your failure. So, all you have to do is change your view of looking at things and everything is going to be smooth and fine.

A Live Example: The Pandya Brothers

As I already said, it’s all about your confidence in your decision and the view of looking at things to prove your decision right. I’ll tell you a real story based on decision-making. A few years back, a man shifted his living place and his well-settled business from Surat, India to Baroda, India. He took this hard decision in order to make his children’s future bright in cricket because Baroda had better coaching facilities than Surat.

You would be surprised that the age of his elder son was just six years old. But his father was super confident about his decision. People used to ask him why he was destroying his well-settled business. He used to reply that his children are going to be famous one day.

Today, both of his sons are popular cricketers, and one is playing for the Indian national team. I’m talking about the father of Hardik and Krunal Pandya. Hardik Pandya has made a place for the Indian team and already delivered many match-winning performances. Krunal Pandya is a brilliant player and plays for Mumbai Indians for many years alongside Hardik Pandya in IPL. The story was disclosed by Krunal Pandya in his latest interview. This is the perfect example of making a disciplined decision and living up to it. To build the discipline and grit needed to stick with your decisions, explore our Discipline & Grit Development prompts which help you develop unshakeable confidence and resilience in your chosen path.
