How tough is it to make a decision ?

Really, how tough is it to reach a decision ? Why do some of us take one instantly while others (like me) take forever to make a decision and when and however they are successful in making one, they are still not confident about what they have chosen.

I think those who fall in the first category are the ones who lead a carefree life. These are the ones who live in the present and do not care about what tomorrow holds in store. They live by the spur of the moment and never ever regret any of their decisions. In a nutshell, they are contented and happy souls.

The ones who fall in the latter category are just the opposite. They are the ones who want to lead a happy life but in their quest to do so do not notice that they are burning THE HAPPINESS they aspire for by constantly keeping their minds busy with all kinds of stuff.

For them, every decision is very, very important and can never be taken without measuring the pros and cons. "What ifs" and "Buts" always come first and consequently, they never reach a sound decision. They are never happy and can never be happy because their mind is always clouded with uncertainty. They are constantly thinking about the ifs and buts resulting in a mind filled with tons and tons of things -- leaving no room for the real happiness.

Constant worrying means keeping your mind busy about frivolous things and as a result, you are unable to think in the right direction and consequently, lack of proper decision.

Decisions do not always need to be perfect. Mistakes happen and chances need to be taken. I, personally, can speak for myself and admit that my mind is always full of things which should not bother me, these things shouldn't have the right to disturb my peace of mind. But despite knowing all this so well, I am still unable to weed all of it out ( That's me).

Chances need to be taken and you need to decide for yourself. Stepping out of the comfort zone is important if you wish to explore and be happy. Life is very tough but then it was never meant to be easy... Money is important... but never so important that you sacrifice your happiness for it. To be fit and healthy is important, but never so important that you start avoiding your favourite food.

So, just let things be, they are anyway going to take their own course and will never run according to your plans, so why waste your time and evergy on them...

So next time before thinking about taking a decision, just do what you want and not what others want, or what they will think or how it may affect your future... We can be happy by letting those things go which fill us with negativity... and to really let such things go from your life is the biggest decision that always needs to be taken, everytime... but something always impedes it's exit from our lives.

Hope it doesn't happen anymore !!!
