Making good decisions requires research! Yes even the simple things in life, like buying dishes, picking party planners and buying a new cell phone. The more information you have, the less likely you will be outwitted. I tend to jump into situations and figure things out as I go along. This patten has cost me many emotional, spiritual, financial and physical tribulations.
I felt that if I did not jump at an interesting offer, I would lose out. How wrong I have been. It is more important to make informed decisions. I could have avoided many years of needless pain and foolishness. The bottom line, when you want to do things right, you do the research!
Researching your choices significantly slows down the pace of living. It also delays the excitement of getting new things. The trade off of losing these aspects of fast living are more solid investments that give long term happiness.
Take a look at your life. How many current situations are you navigating based on little or no research? How much stress are these decisions causing you? How many things are you fixing or changing? How much money are you spending due to impulsive whims? How many times have you said, if I had of known then, what I know now, I would have done things differently? If you can answer any of these questions affirmatively it may be time to make some changes.
Some of the benefits of an informed decisions are:
- Peace!
- Organization
- Long-term happiness
- Less regrets
- A better chance of having financial stability
- A sense of accomplishment
- You will hear a lie and avoid making foolish decisions
- You become an example for your children, co-workers, family and other people in your circle
It is not too late to turn bad situations around or simply let them go. Do research on your current situations and make them work for you, instead of against you. Tell people you need time to think before you make a decision. If they are pressuring you or you are feeling pressured step away and find the information you need.
An Empowered life is an informed life based on good research!
