A life without choices
means someone else makes a decision about how you spend your time each day,
like what you do and when you do it. It is not easy especially standing
on a crossroad and have to make a decision that can have a serious impact in
overall life. Some of your decisions will be so routine that you make them
without giving them much thought. But difficult or challenging decisions demand
more considerations. These are the sort of decisions that involves:
Uncertainty – Many of the
facts may be unknown
Complexity – There can be
many interrelated factors to consider.
High-risk consequences – The impact of
the decisions may be significant.
Alternatives - There may be
various alternatives, each with its own set off uncertainties and consequences.
Interpersonal issues -You need to
predict how different people will react.
The magnitude of each
areas may differ in every case; therefore, you cannot use the same strategy you
may have used the last time. There are various tools available to make good
decisions in terms of business and in an organization. But what about life
choices? Choices about choosing right friends, adapting a habit, respecting and
valuing one another, treating people with dignity, etc.
Making right choices
every time depends upon one’s personal belief system and the core values he
holds on to. The core values and moral ethics plays a major part while making
right choices and deciding on things right from personal to family and in the
business world. If those are properly defined and structured, then to a larger
extent the choices made will make good sense and impact the consequences of the
decisions made. And mind, this can only be done through the help of God who
modeled rich and divine values and lived a holy life.
Shive Khera in his book
‘You can win’ remarks, “we don’t need more academic education; we need
more value education. I would stress that a person who is morally educated will
be a lot better equipped to move up in life or succeed than a morally bankrupt
person.”. Let’s not forget this, the effects of the choices will
definitely influence your family, the larger community and
your workplace too. Jesus' statement powerfully emphasizes when He said
“Treat others as you would like them to treat you”. Looks so simple but
powerful. Good positive values are rich and sublime connected to the
characteristics of God. Make Right choices and live better.
