Life is all about the choices we make, ranging from what to eat or what to wear, where to go or when to meet. And it is these choices that we choose, that we become who we are.
Technically, a choice consists of picking from a given range of options after thorough analysis.The best thing to do when faced with multiple options to choose is to brainstorm the options matching the pros against the cons for each option.
Here is my technique when life decides to let me choose:
- List out all the available options
- Analyze the pros and cons of each option
- Mark each option with a score
- For each option, add a point for the option which meets most of your needs or benefits you
- For each option that affects your life or your near ones, deduct one point
- For options that do no good nor any bad, do nothing
- Tally the points and pick the one with the best score and ignore the one with the least score
Life does not give us many options all the time. When it gives us something, it does restrict the availability of some other thing. And it is upto the inidividual to to rightly value the options available.
Most of the time when we choose something, we keep thinking about the options that we had available to us and how our life would have been different had we picked those options. But the best thing after making a decision is not to think about the past options but to be firm and think positive about the option picked.
