In various
stages of your life, you have to make the right choice between two or more
alternatives. Education, career, marriage, home, business are five main areas
out of several where you need to choose what works well for you. Here are few
tips on how to make right life choice:
Be Yourself: This is the number one hint given by psychologists and life
trainers. Think in terms of who were you in past who are you in present and who
you wish to become in the future. These are the three absorbing questions for
you in making life choice. Let me talk about
your career. Assume you are cadet
officer in the army at present and you wish to become a captain quickly and aspire
for the post of brigade commander in the near future. You have to assess how
you fared in the past and how you can make a try on this promotion now. One
thing that can motivate you more is the elevation of rank in your career in
army or for that matter anywhere.
Keep your eyes and ears open: See and listen are two ingredients for
your success. Let us talk about your home. You are going to move into a
spacious house larger than what you are living in now. What do you see in the
proposed new home what you hear from the neighbours of that home and about the
area and location. Finally, how do you feel about the new home? At this point,
you must listen to your inner voice that whispers in your ears. If everything
is fine then surely you are going to have pleasant living at new home.
Trade-off between emotions and reasons: Most failed decisions perch heavily on one side
of this spectrum. Some get too emotional to start a romance that goes to flamboyant
marriage and then end in disastrous divorce. Others get too calculating. They
do not look at the comely figure of beau; but how she can be of use in raising
family or helping in career prospects. They are condemned to hell as their
calculations fail to materialize. What you need is a balanced approach of
weighing emotions and reasons together.
Break out from the safety net: It is easily, said than done. All of us
are attuned to what we call a comfort zone. We stretch little bit this or other
side but the borders of safety zone has never been breached. Safety first, is
the mantra that has chastened us often. In managing life choices, you must take
risk and brace out from the safety net. Of course, you cannot simply get out if
this zone if there are not many alternatives. This is especially true in
business. Most of you feel comfortable in doing what is easy and average performing
rather than getting into business that demands hard work with more
profitability.
Analyze your cosmics: Everyone has personal cosmics. Traits
and characteristics that are ingrained in a person due to his genetics, environment,
upbringing, personality. These cosmics reside in a person often unknown and
unrealized. For example, you always feel happy when you are looking, touching,
smelling flowers. Yet, you never thought of it seriously and went on to become
an engineer. After a decade or so, you feel tired and wish to be associated
plant and flowers. Love of flowers is something that is imbued in your personal
cosmics. If you had done a cosmic analysis, right at the beginning of your
career you would have become a successful florist rather than a tired engineer.
Even now, it is not too late. Go to your garden, talk to the flowers, and thereafter
talk to me.
Cheers!
