Anthony had just finished from the University with a 2.1 in Business Education. He is now in the world of work and ready to start a new life outside school. He started looking out for jobs and opportunities as he already promised himself to find a job, work for a year and then start his Masters. He was left with no choice than to look for a job because no one to help him out. He has to feed actually and how does he achieve much money in a year to enrol for his Masters?
Some months later into his job, he was engrossed to the large salary he was given and after seven months, he had gathered enough money that could help him further his education. But something is helding him down. What was that? The job he was into actually is demanding and wouldn't allow him have time for himself as he was always called upon to attend to one thing or the other. He never had time to focus on his life- furthering his academics or even marriage life. His social life had been a rough one with himself alone as he couldn't get to go out with his friends. This actually made him lose some of his friends because they think he doesn't have time for them. What should Anthony do? His academics is at stake while his social life too is soaring.
In life, we are stuck at our decisions to choose the right way. We then are confused as to what and how we would cope if we don't get to decide quickly the next step or phase of our lives. Decisions matters a lot in our daily lives that we need to sit down and think of what to do to make the greatest impact to our future.
Remember you make decisions based on what you want to get in the future and a silly decision can ruin your whole life. Deciding on something only takes just few minutes but takes many days, months to get what you have to conclude on.
Decision requires total concentration, thorough thinking and focusing on what you have to choose because you will end up fooling yourself when you find out the decision you made back then was what actually led to your doom.
HOW THEN DO YOU MAKE DECISIONS?
Remember I said decisions are what determines your future. You don't just wake up one day and tell yourself "I want to be a Psychologist" whereas you don't even know what it means to be that. For you to be a Psychologist, there is need for you to go through a course, make research on it and then go for trainings before you can conclude that you want to be a Psychologist. Don't just wake up and scream "I want this". You need to have a clue of what you want by thinking about it first.
There is need for proper planning in whatever you planned on becoming or doing. Sit down and analyse its cost first. There is nothing you do that doesn't require finance. You need money to fuel whatever you need in life. Take a pen and estimate the amount first before concluding you want this. You are alone in this first. You need to make a decision first, even if someone wants to help you out.
Then lastly, be consistent and be ready to do what it takes to get that thing done. Having made your decision, don't just leave it aside. You keep monitoring it and set your focus on it.
I hope this helps?
