Is it normal for us to have trouble making decisions?
Making a decision is something transcendental, it is very normal that we are afraid to face the decision making, what can happen is that little by little we are learning in life so that sooner or later we can face that fear of being wrong, as we lose that fear we can then face the decision making.
When we are young we want to come of age to be independent, but what is to be independent? to be independent means that we can be prepared to make decisions, so it is an ability that must be expected to mature, we can start making everyday choices to important decisions that can change our destiny in the future.
What can we do if we face fear and anxiety before making a decision?
The first thing we must do is to be aware that a mistake is something beneficial, because it allows us to go through an experience that brings learning, if we never make a mistake is because we will never face the experience of being able to make a transcendental decision.
Many times this fear comes from thinking about the possibility of making a mistake, but if we make a mistake nothing happens, life always gives us multiple opportunities to know how to choose, the important thing is to have the ability to make a decision.
It is important to differentiate between a decision and a choice, generally in our lives we have to choose between a variety of options, but the difference between choosing and making a decision is that the choice will not have a favorable impact on our lives, but making a decision may generate an impact, depending on the decision may be favorable or negative.
When we know that it is a decision, what we must do is to take time to evaluate what is best for us, instead if it is a choice we must be aware that by not generating drastic changes may not matter so much the choice, but the choice of any element in a decision making is something that should not be postponed but if we must take time to choose what is best for us.
