We all know decisions can have a lasting impact on our lives. In fact, research suggests that we make about 33,000 – 35,000 decisions each day. While some choices are trivial, like whether to sleep for an extra 5 minutes or what to wear to work, others have profound implications, such as deciding who to marry or where to attend school.
Recently, I read an insightful book titled “Better Decisions, Fewer Regrets.” It offers a straightforward yet powerful framework for making better choices by considering five key questions:
1. Integrity: Am I being honest with myself, really?
2. Legacy: What story do I want to tell?
3. Conscious: Is there attention that deserves my attention?
4. Maturity: What is the wise thing to do?
5. Relationships: What does love require of me?
Reflecting on these questions helps us navigate our decisions in light of our past experiences, current circumstances, and future hopes and dreams. Your decisions determine the story of your life, and private decisions often have public outcomes.
Remember, when you find yourself trying to sell an idea to yourself, it’s a red flag—it’s rarely necessary to sell yourself on a genuinely good idea. Ultimately, wise decisions are not just about choosing between good and bad but understanding what is truly the wisest thing to do in any situation.
