Decide into the future

Brian Ngosi

THE greatest trap on mankind is the decision-making process.

What separates the good from the bad depends on ones’ capacity to make life-changing decisions.

If the decision that you make today does not make you a champion, then it impoverishes you.

It is at the point when you make any decision that you shape your future, or strike the death nail on your future efforts.

With every move you make, guard against fighting to recover from indecision.

The recovery route is always a case of fighting for better opportunities that would have been lost.

Needless to say, time and resources put to waste.

Each decision made either erodes away a golden opportunity, or crystalises your golden path.

At the point of making a decision, you impact the bigger picture.

Each decision is a building block to which care should be taken.

A bad foundation can never carry strong walls.

Efforts to plaster a shoddy job will always have records of thunderous failure.

The sight of a crack on a neatly painted wall tells you the poor workmanship buried deep in the wall.

Future good decisions living in the shadow of bad decisions can send shivers.

Every decision is to be owned.

The safest departure point is to decide for yourself. The first to be considered in the decision matrix should be the decision-maker.

If one makes the mistake of deciding in sympathy of any other person or situation, forgetting to consider where the decision-maker stands first, then it could end in doomsday.

No one should live to be selfish. Every decision should be done with open eyes.

The decision should reflect the position taken, based on principles, not when the individual is cornered.

It should always be without regret, but with sincerity that one makes a decision.

There is not a single decision that should keep you awake at night.

Between hearts and minds, a decision made should bring peace.

There is a lot in the environment that can affect a potentially good decision to sower the populace.

All it takes is the individual to agree with themselves that they made the best decision under prevailing circumstances.

There is no bravery in one being haunted at the expense of the world.
There is wisdom in accepting your situation, and living with the difficult calls that one has to make.

Joy and happiness lies not in the decision-maker alone, but also within all those whose lives are impacted by the decision.

The time between decisions shapes how the sun rises or sets.

Each situation is different, and that should be reflected in decision-making.

The human brain is a gift with great sophistication, tailored to accommodate the worst scenario man is yet to see.

No one has the liberty to hide behind the clock.

The urgency or laxity within which a decision is made lies in the decision itself.

If one does not accept to bend to the demands of the prevailing situation, then be assured the sparkle of the decision is lost.

If the best decision demands a great leap forward, then those that will opt to walk along are bound to bump into the worst in life.

The poorest in life are among those who make it to the other side by mistake or coincidence.

Life is like breathing, whereby on the day one is starved of oxygen death is imminent.

Life decisions need to keep coming in the correct fashion, or else when the momentum is lost in between decisions that is signal enough for thunder in paradise.

Life is sustained by decisions to the extent that no day is the same.

What matters in your decisions is not only the result, but the art.

Everything that gets wiped out today can be gathered again, provided the bearer possesses the same decision-making art, not chance.

The top is reserved for those with decision-making consistency, bearing in mind that coincidences are not an everyday phenomenon upon which one can invest into the future.

The world is in pain, not from bad decisions, but from poor decision-makers.

The architecture can be there, but without decision practitioners, each day is a catastrophe.

The line is not blurred between wrong and right, the greatest lack is on those that are prepared to make the tight call at the right time, and for the greater good of society.

The next decision to be made should be safer, based on the decision-maker not the results, on principle not noise, and shaped by skills not demand, beyond which the bearer should be the reference point to safeguard societal wellbeing into the future.
