As all of My Regular Readers will indeed be fully aware of; decision making is a most important factor when it comes to getting ahead in life. We must be decisive if we are to solve everyday problems and thus finally achieve the goals and objectives we've set for ourselves and/or our business. However, I want to make an extremely important point here relative to the overall decision making process. When some people are presented with a problem, particularly a major problem, let's say to do with one's finances; far too many panic and thus take rather drastic measures to solve the problem which, in the end causes more problems than they actually solve.
Let me give you an example. Let's say a person gets into some sort of financial situation, either relative to their personal finances or from a business prospective. They need to come up with a large amount of money to satisfy a creditor. Now, this person cannot go to their bank as they have already got several loans there and are therefore unable to get any more credit or loans from them.
So in desperation, when they are not thinking clearly, they go to a well known 'Loan Shark' who gives them the money they require to satisfy their creditors; however, the interest rate is way above what it should be and the payments have to be made on time or else they'll really be in trouble. So this person who made a Desperate Decision ends up in a worse place than the one they were originally in.
So what is the sensible, the prudent thing to do under such circumstances, when one is faced with a serious problem and decisions have to be made? The answer is: Firstly, go into a period of quiet meditation and take your problem to 'Source'. Then in a calm, relaxed fashion, perhaps with the sound advice of a trusted Friend or Counselor make the decision in a calm, relaxed, methodical and sensible manner. In a nutshell, as today's title states it 'Don't Make Desperate Decisions'.
