We all are capable of making our own decisions in life. Sometimes it is right and other times it is not. We are relieved whenever we made the right decision because we know that it will lead us to the right path and we end up regretting when we make the wrong decision. Do you seek other people's opinion or advice whenever you are to make a decision? What was the hardest decision that you have made throughout your years of existence?
Most of you know that majority of my decisions were made by me though there are some where I consulted my family and friends. However the final say is still with me that is why I am to blame for all my wrong decisions. Then there are some decisions that I have made in which I blamed another person. I even blamed another person for my fate. I admit that I used to think and feel that way before. I may have been late to realize that I should be the one to blame for everything but I am glad that I do not have that heavy feeling towards another person anymore. But what do you do when you have made one wrong move that instantly changed your life not for the better but for the worst? Did you also blame the person who helped you in deciding things?
There are a lot of hard decisions that I have made during my years of existence and I know that there will be a lot more that I will encounter in the future. When I was in high school, I really had a hard time deciding on what course to choose. Then when I already graduated, it was hard for me to decide whether to work here or abroad. When I was hired, I cannot choose which company should I work with. And then when I already had a job, it gets harder and harder to decide if I were to stay or leave the company.
When I am faced in a difficult situation, I usually ask my friends and sometimes my family for their opinions. I remember when I was still under the company where my dad had connections, I asked a lot of people if I were to stay or leave. It was as if I was conducting a survey for a thesis. With everyone's opinions and advices that I have gathered, it even made it harder for me to decide. It was also the first time that I asked my dad if I were to leave or not. I used to quit whenever I quit and I do not ask for my dad's opinion. But because he was the one who had connections in that company, I told him about my thoughts on resigning. When I had his go signal, I instantly resigned. LOL. I do weigh its pros and cons whenever I would decide on something although I usually go with what my heart is telling me. That is probably why most of my decisions were wrong even with the guys that I fell in love with. LOL. Just kidding.
Seriously speaking, do you think that our right choices and decisions will lead us to the right path while the wrongs ones does not? I think that there are no guarantees that the outcomes of our decision whether right or wrong would be good or bad. There will always be some consequences to our decisions. I used to believe that when I chose my career path that it was one of the many wrong decisions that I have made in my life. It may have been wrong but it did have some positive results like learning how to make different food and drinks, how to manage a restaurant, how to work under pressure, how to deal with irate customers and a lot more. If it was not for my wrong decision of choosing my path, I do not think I would be here right now nor would I known most of you. I would not have learned a lot of things if it was not for my wrong decision.
Making a decision can sometimes be so stressing and we can always ask for opinions and advices from other people. However, we should not let other people control or manipulate us. We should not also blame anyone and regret it if in case we made a wrong decision. A decision will only be wrong if we do not learn from it and if we do not make it right. Again, I am going to repeat my favorite saying that everything happens for a reason. We should be responsible for our own choices and decisions in life no matter what the outcome is.
P.S. I decided to use my meal that I had in Starbucks years ago. That time I was having a hard time making a decision on which company to choose.
Yes we are all capable in making our decision.Pero minsan kailangan din natin ng karamay sa pagbuo nito,minsan kailangan natin ng opinion ng iba,pero sa huli desisyon parin natin ang masusunod.
