One thing I am sure of is that everyone in one way or the other make decisions based on what they feel is right for them irrespective of what the repercussions might be. Making decisions is what we will always do on a daily basis, that simple decision you make can cost you a lot in life, it can either bring a positive outcome or a negative outcome, the problem now is when it turns out to be a negative outcome, what do we do about it? Do we just sit and fold our hands in regrets or do we stand and look for another alternative that will better the previous mistake that was made?
Most people wallow in regret because of the kind of decision they made out of emotions. A decision that landed them in big trouble and even made the situation worse for them, they became depressed thinking that their own is finished, such depression made them feel less of themselves and as such they would think that whatever they do wouldn’t yield any benefit to them. I quite agree that our emotions can take the better part of us and as such mistakes can be made but it doesn’t mean that we can’t correct the mistakes made. It is only when we decide to dwell in the past, that we tend to remain the way we’re. Of course, decisions are to be made whether we like it or not but the state at which it is being made is what will decide how well the outcome will be. It is always advisable that when you’re emotionally unstable, you will need to calm yourself down before making a hasty decision because a calm mind is a stable person.
I have made lots of decisions in my life, the ones that yielded a positive outcome and also the ones with negative consequences. Even when I reflect back on those decisions, a thought of regret comes in but I never for ones allowed it to weigh me down, I am this kind of person that believe that we learn from experience in order to correct the bad ones so why being sober for long when I know I can still make it better with more effort. One of the hardest decisions I have made out of my emotions was having to breakup with someone. Although the love was there but I needed to find peace within myself, it was hard making such decision because of the strong bond we shared, but on the other hand it was a toxic relationship to me. A lot happened that I began to question myself about a lot of things, although it was very difficult for me to move on after everything, but seeing myself now, I am one of the happiest person. I made a decision that changed my life for the best. When I looked back to when all this things started, I just smiled to myself for standing strong and making the best decision for myself.
