HOW DO I MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE?

 

HOW DO I MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE? 

Written By Michael Chidiebere Ituma

Here with us is an era when people venture into certain things in life without first considering the impending aftermath. 

. 

People have learnt to jump before ever they had had to leap. 

. 

It is indeed a piteous situation that many has been doomed for life because of rash decisions that yielded disastrous consequences. 

. 

With the increase in crime and social vices in various parts of the world, one needs not be told that a few decades from where we presently stand, there shall be much more obnoxiousness than have ever been seen or heard of before, even as juvenile delinquency strikes its mischievous wipes on the soft back of the world. 

. 

What we call "choice" is a direct offspring of decision. Something is not as yet someone's choice until it has been decided upon in the mind of such individual. 

. 

So it is from a retinue of decisions that one chooses what to and what not to do.

. 

Most of these obnoxious acts that throw dangerous slaps on people's faces are resultant effects of people's decisions in life, which of course are choices they have made either directly or indirectly. 

. 

To this end then, it can be inferred that both the good and the bad deeds of people are as a result of the choices they have made in life. 

. 

This is where the question of how to do the right things comes in. 

. 

The ones who have allowed the waves of life to direct their paths and destiny, whom themselves are of the better percentage of the world's population, may concern themselves less with the importance of making the right choices for their lives. 

. 

But on the contrary, those who have decided to make the difference take their time to consider what is best for them, and which way to go about it. 

. 

Let us assume that you're in the category of people who want to make the difference, making the right choice will be something you will be grateful for anytime in the future. 

. 

Firstly, to make the right choice, look beyond the present. Try to stretch your neck as long as it can go so as to look into the future and be sure what exactly is waiting for you right there. 

. 

Ask yourself questions like: "Where will it land me, will I be on the safer side, or will I be thrown into jail, will I succeed if I do it this way or that way?" 

. 

Providing reasonable answers to these questions will help guide you. Many who has completely lost it today had not given themselves the time to ask these questions, to provide cogent answers to them. 

. 

So when the evil things they devoted themselves to doing yield regrettable results, they go in for it hook, line and sinker. 

. 

Secondly, you would have to write down every decision you have made concerning what you are preparing to venture into, and begin to analyze them one decision at a time. 

. 

You would need to know which of the decisions is more at peace with your conscience, which one is positive, which one is plausible, which one leads toward the direction of your destiny. 

. 

Why you have to do this is just so that you would know what is on the table, and how to tackle any challenges that may arise. 

. 

After you've been able to pinpoint the best of decisions (remember you are yet to make a choice) ask yourself how each of those decisions would be of importance to not only yourself but also the world at large. 

. 

Scale each one of them in such a way that the ones that will impact the world the good way will be on the positive side, while the ones that will impact the world the bad way will be on the negative side. This way, you will know which of the decisions to cancel out next.

. 

In cases where career is involved, you may need to make your choice around your talents, hobbies or skills. 

. 

They have to be things that you do freely without being bored, without being concerned with the monetary compensation. 

. 

The reason why you need to make the thing you enjoy your career choice is so that you don't go into the future regretting the kind of job you do. 

. 

Even more, it is worthy of note that the term "Right Choice" simply means what decision should amount to usefulness. 

. 

It is not a right choice if the resultant effect will be harmful to people. It is a right choice if people will see or hear of it and nod their head, if it is plausible, if it brings good tidings to people. 

. 

Remember that our choices in life matter because they will either make or mare us. 

. 

Don't add to the number of people who mischievously cause people pains and sorrows. 

. 

Life is a race that is run individually, and on whatever choices we have made. Truth is, if you make the right choices, there is a reward, if you make the wrong choices, there is also a reward. The former will bring you joy, while the latter will bring shame and regrets. 

. 

Until we learn to make the right choices in life, we may not truly fulfill our God given purposes. So what choices do you resolve to make? 

. 

I'm concerned with your Positivity. 

Be Positive.
