Making Good decisions

When I was a boy in the 1950s my father sat me down to tell me about decisions. At that time men were the ones often allowed to make decisions more (the bigger ones in life). So, this is what he said to me, "You cannot worry about making decisions. You have to make decisions mostly without enough information all the time. So, all you can do is to make the best decisions you can with the available information. Later, when you receive new information you might change some or all of these decisions. However, in the moment you have to keep making these decisions the rest of your life. So, you need to get used to just making one decision after another without freaking out about them. You make some good decisions and some bad decisions along the way and often you don't know which one it is until long after the time you make the decision. However, if you freak out about making decisions you become paralyzed by not making them and soon your life is over. So, only by making decisions and moving forward can you survive your life at all."

However, in this era men and women are equal in these decision making processes, so now decisions are made this way by everyone. But still, I see people making the same mistakes as people made in the 1950s of being afraid of decision making and often this ruining their lives.

You have to give yourself the ability to change any decision you make later when you get better information, otherwise everyone's life just becomes an ongoing living hell otherwise.

So, be sure you give yourself the freedom to change decisions when you get more information regarding everything in your lives.
