Greetings, everyone!
Happy Friday to everyone. Jesus paid the price tilt to Him in this season.
To start with, decision-making is what we do every day as humans. I don't think, there hasn't been a day a man or woman doesn't make decisions, good or bad. Some decision-making leads to life-changing and some leads to destruction. A man without a decision is a man who doesn't have a future.
Most of our decision-making starts with choosing what to eat and wear, choosing a course of study, career, partner/marriage, and business, and these have shaped the direction of our lives today.

The best decision-making requires patience and wisdom, not just earthly wisdom, but the wisdom of God that influences or helps a man to choose rightly. When you are endowed with the wisdom of God, you will be able to make your decision rightly. Also, surround yourself with positive friends who will help you make your choice rightly.
These are the qualities I used to have my best decision-making in my life and it worked out for me perfectly.
I know decision-making is difficult but there are things I do consider before making a move.
First is clarity of my purpose; this is one of the qualities that has helped me to be focused in my decision-making. I stay where I have peace of mind and joy. I like teaching, and this has given me joy strength, and the eagerness to study hard. There was a time I was asked to teach in church during bible study. I prepared, I prayed, and I decided to do it well with the help of the Spirit. I started teaching with overflowing joy; there was how I felt like I was fulfilled within me. This has always been my earnest prayer that I want to teach people with impact and influence; I want to be known as an experienced teacher with wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. This has always been the kind of woman I want to see myself in the next few years to come. This takes a lot of my patience, in the process of waiting, I'm preparing and being tutored. I want to influence lives through my teachings, I want to be a channel of blessings through my teachings. I have done this before, and people came around and said, 'You did well, and I was blessed'. I was like wow.
A clear purpose would give clear direction of the kind of decisions you take. From here, I can't settle for what comes my way but I go for the one that will bring impact on the people too. I discovered that whatever thing you are doing should bring a solution to people's problems. I believe that the path I have made or chosen would bring people out of their mess and help them live happily.
If you look at the scripture, you see that God has a thought or plan for me, and that plan is for me to have a better future; for me to know His plans for myself, I need to depend on Him, get closer to him the more. By doing this, my decision will be perfect.
Overall, decision-making may not always be easy, but with clarity of purpose, God’s wisdom, patience, and the right people around you, you can make decisions that will not only change your life but bless others as well.
