Tips for BETTER Decision Making

1)Trust Experience
Past events and stories really make a difference when trying to make  decisions, especially important ones. A good suggestion would be to get a few different opinions from people that you know. They could be family or friends. Take the information you gathered into thought, and make the final decision.

2)View Different Perspectives 
Often when making decisions, we most likely only view it from 2 perspectives: yours, and the other parties. This time, think outside the box, think about it from a friend's, families, societies, any other parties that it may affect even in the slightest way. This may help you clear more up in your final step.

3)Use Evidence 
Evidence can be what you've already known, seen, heard, or facts. If you gather them all together, the decision may be crystal clear right away. But of course depending on the decision, also have your own judgments.

4)Let Go
Don't live in your mistakes. They happen for a reason. Don't live in your past, it will only ruin how you can improve and enjoy life. This affects a lot of people's pace when it comes to making a decision. You might be afraid of getting hurt, making the same mistake, taking a risk, you might fear it now, whatever it is, let it go. Stay in the moment, if it is not happening right now, don't let it affect you ever again. Learn from it and move on.

5)Be Honest With Yourself 
Stay true to yourself when making a decision. If you feel that something is not the right choice for the situation you are in, don't make it. Do not let outside influences pressure you, even those that you care for and is close to. Put yourself first because you are the one living your decision, it will change your life the most and no one else. Don't make a decision just to please others and make others happy, unless it is also what you want as well.

6)Pros and Cons 
Take some time and write down the pros and cons of your options. Weigh on which one is more important to you and make it upon that.

7)Just Make a Decision
Don't take too long to make a decision because if you wait, you might lose the opportunity as a whole. Even if you make the wrong decision, after a while you can still change it because most decisions and choices are not permanent. You will learn things from your choice and change later. Its better than not making any decision and staying in the same place.

Happy decision making!
