It's a decision

We are most of the times honest to our own feelings when it comes to making decision for change, of course for the better. And so, we make decisions everyday, be it major or minor, critical or not. What makes it difficult to arrive at a decision and making a choice among alternatives is the results, desirable or not or the consequences, good or bad that we have to face after we have chosen a path.

When we have analysed the result of each course of action, we are merely more prepared to accept the consequences of a calculated risk, mentally. But a lot of times, a calculated risk is also influenced by various surrounding factors that may be far beyond our control and hence the final result though expected are often less predictable.

In business negotiations, we work to have both negotiating parties benefiting from the business decision to arrive at a “Win-Win” situation. However in personal decision, that is often less seen in that sense and at time one or more parties may become victims of a decision, though it was never intended to be that way.

As we have to move on with our lives or get out from a dilemma, it is inevitable that we have to choose our next course of action at different stage of live or work. Be honest with ourselves of what prompted us to make a change and follow the feeling truthfully. When we looked back after awhile, very often we realized that it was not either a good or bad decision, but what was presented to us at that moment of a choice was the most preferred under all constraints.

Should we regret or not when faced with the consequences is just a matter of personal capability of handling a crisis.
