Everyone takes decisions — about a job, higher studies, an investment, a life partner — but we never knowingly take a decision we believe is bad at the time. A decision only looks “bad” later, once, over time, its outcome doesn't match what was expected.

That's why we say a decision “was” wrong, never that it “is” wrong — a wrong decision is always something from the past, so there's no merit in regretting it; the better use of our energy is strategizing forward. Past decisions were based on the data available at the time, made with good intent, and therefore correct at the time — it's only with hindsight and an unfavourable outcome that a once-right decision comes to be seen as wrong.

Roughly 95–98% of the decisions we take are correct and favourable, yet we never celebrate them — they're forgotten, treated as ordinary “life as usual.” We regret and mourn the wrong ones instead, repeatedly remembering them, which breeds negativity and self-blame.

Decision-making is an important trait of leaders; cowards are those who avoid deciding. The best thing is to do the right thing; the next best thing is the wrong thing; the worst thing is to do nothing. Once we make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.

The script of our life is already written, but every day a new page unfolds. Life would be very monotonous if every decision we made were the right one — so learn from the bad ones rather than repeating them. Every intersection in the road of life is an opportunity to make a decision; life is a matter of choices, and every choice we make, makes us. Good decisions come from experience; experience comes from making bad decisions.

Make decisions that align your thoughts and actions with your Purpose of Life.
