        PAST EXPERIENCE 

Past experience determines our interpretation of actions, thoughts, ideas and most likely affect our decision-making process. we likely would prefer something we remember than things we don't know. Past experience plays a huge role in the lives of people and choice they make. Being aware of how your past has influenced your current position in life and how it has impacted our choice, will help redirect us and importantly remain us that our choice should not be totally based on our past experience.

        NEEDS AND WANTS 

This does not just influence choice making but is a key factor in why people are where they are now. Some people place more importance on wants than needs forgetting the want will still be there waiting for you after you finish your needs. When you have to choose between two tasks, ask yourself which is a need and a want then make the right choice.

     INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCE 

As much logic as you put into making decisions, your personality will always affect the way you make choice, combined with maturity and exposure. Individual personality is an inevitable factor but proactive self-awareness can help you weigh how your decision making process is influenced by our individuality.

             BELIEF

Belief can either hold you back from making decisions that will change your life in the positive or have the life you want. Get rid of beliefs that doesn't make you happy and adopt new ones. Check all belief and see that they are serving you well knowing that the choice you make will stem from these beliefs, put them under intense scrutiny and be sure you want in your life. Beliefs are not good or bad, they serve either to limit or empower you.
