How to make a decision that will benefit you
Do you know how to make a decision? Is making decisions easy for you? Do you know some decision making techniques?
Many people find themselves lost when they want to make a decision. People often do what they will do when it is clear to them what they do not want. Usually, no one can discover or achieve something without making mistakes and trying different things.
Decision making
To learn how to make a decision that will benefit you and that is right for you, follow the below steps:
1. Analyze the situation-
The first step you have to do is analyze the current circumstances and know exactly how you got to this point. If you do not know how you got to this point, then you really can’t go forward and you won‘t be able to make a good decision that will be good for you.
Now, you have to focus on finding a solution that will help you accomplish your goal. However, in order to do that, you have to know what you want, what you wish to accomplish, and what will benefit you. As I mentioned in my book “the ultimate guide to achieve your goals” that knowing your purpose in life and what you want to achieve is crucial. Otherwise, you would be aiming aimlessly.
3. Make a list-
Make a list of a few possible solutions that you think and believe are good for the current circumstances.
4. Analyze the solutions-
Now that you have come up with a few solutions, you have to pick the best solution. In order to do that, you need to list 5 positive and negative points (pros and cons) for each of the solutions that you have come up with. Then, you would pick the solution that you believe has the most positive points, that is right for you, and that will help you accomplish your goal.
Always remember what Theodore Hesburgh said, “My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are cheap; you make them because they’re right.”

Hi Ayo,

Dia: There is nothing worse than being indecisive. Great post. I think it is important to have an approach and something you can do time after time to make certain you are always making decisions. One of the best traits we can have is to be a good decision maker and that means we have to not only decide things, but decide them rightly. I think when you follow those tips that you suggested you can really look at the situation holistically and make the best decisions.
Hi Sibyl,
Having an approach absaloutly helps when it comes down to making decisions, otherwise, most people will spend the majority of time focusing on the problems. We always have to focus on making the right decisions that is good for everyone involved.
Its important for us to make a decision on what we want exactly. Better yet, we should know how we want to feel. If you want to feel happy, do things that will cause you to be more than excited. Be different and be a better decision maker. It starts in you. And ends with what you decide to do after you read this post! Great Post DIA!
Hi Jonathan,
Couldn’t agree more my friend. We always have to make a decision on what we want, which is why it is important to know exactly what we want to accomplish when we make a certain decision. If we don’t know what we want to accomplish, then we will end up making decisions that might not be right. It all starts within us.
Hi Dia,
I like to say, “Don’t be in a hurry and choose wisely”. You’ve set a perfect process for doing just that! Thank you.
Oh! And I love your Theodore Hesburgh quote.
Great post, great blog,
