There are many people across the world who made decisions that ended their life; and also there are many people whose right decisions-making have made the voice that everyone wants to hear; such decisions took them from grass to grace.
Decisions are part of our daily life. As human beings, we cannot do without decisions. Whatever things we do, either positive or negative, those actions we do are the results of decisions we made.
That is the reason I always tell my friends to nurture their minds; the reason is that we use our mind to make decisions.
Well! Most times I made decisions, I used my mind and used my brain to calculate it.
I have made right and wrong decisions in my life. As a good man, you won't like to make a decision that affects your life negatively. Every good man wants to make decisions that help them to grow. Therefore, there are decisions we think are right but they are wrong.
It got to a stage in my life, I love to sleep alone; I don't want disturbance or distractions.
I had my room alone, I slept alone. It was only me in the room.
As I was growing up, it became a big problem for me to share the same bed with someone. Therefore, I love sleeping alone.
Then, I made a decision not to share a room with anyone: this was because it was part of my lifestyle. Even though a friend visited, I preferred to sleep on a floor rather than sharing a bed. A friend of mine visited and spent about seven days with me; all through the time he spent with me, I was sleeping on the floor.
He said, “Chris, I have been observing that since I came here, you haven't slept on the bed. What is happening?”.
I lied to him that I love the coldness of the floor.
I went to the field for training after a long time. I trained hard that very day. After the training, I was the one that walked myself home. On that night, I went out again to get my dinner.
Around 10:30 pm I was about to sleep. After 30 mobinutes on the bed, I decided to go to the toilet to pee. I was unable to stand up and even move my body on the bed.
For an hour, I struggled to stand up. I could not stand up, I could not move my body.
I shouted for help, and one of my friends heard my voice and came to my rescue 🛟.
I was thinking that there is no condition that would not make me stand on my feet; that day made me realize that even when one thinks that he/she is strong, his body can fail him/her within a minute.
If there's no one around me that very day, who knows what would have happened to me.
This was how I knew that loneliness is not good for me. I decided to bring a friend of mine together so that we could be together, living together and sharing the same bed.
Hmmm! What I was looking for was freedom; but the freedom wanted to kill me.
Process Of Developing Decision-Making Abilities
Analyze: Not all decisions will give you time to analyze but there are decisions that are very germain and crucial to the extent that if one makes a wrong decision it can end his life. These are decisions we need to analyze properly before making a decision.
2 years ago, there was a bett website that my friends introduced to me. He told me that he had gotten millions. When he showed me how much he had made, I was moved to put money 🤑.
He wanted to get more money, so he went to borrow money from two cooperatives. He borrowed more than 2 million from both cooperatives. He told me that after this, he won't do it again.
With millions he has gotten, Since if one loses from the game, they would refund your money; and they have done that consecutive times.
He placed more than 15 million naira. By the time they played the game finished; he won #250 million. He was thinking of using 2 million to travel to Dubai for a week.
After 24 hours, he was trying to withdraw the money but the website was not responding. After several trials, he could not withdraw the money.
We called customer care, they were telling us that it was technically a problem and that we should be patient so that our money is saved.
After a week, we just heard that the website was not genuine; they were scammers. I was thinking my friend's money would be the highest but later heard that people placed billions on the website.
That was how he lost the money and paying the debt up till now.
Find a mentor: there are decisions we need people that are more experienced than us. We need their experiences to make this right. Learning from their mistakes, and following their success will make one make a good decision.
Books: there are free books online that can guide you while making tough decisions. Reading those books can improve your decision-making abilities.
I stand up for success, and success is not achieved by merely making mouth, No room for laziness, no room for idleness. Success comes to the people who are desperately and consciously searching for it. When it seems unsuccessful or you smell failure around you, never discourage yourself from being successful.
“Discouragement and failure are the two surest stepping stones to success.” - Dale
