Everyday in life is a different experience that comes in various forms, either positive or negative, but all mark an opportunity to make a certain decision. Each of those experiences undoubtedly require taking the right decision at the right time. However, this becomes a challenge that not everybody can wisely overcome! In fact, every obstacle in our life emerges to make us bitter or better and either to break or make us.
However, the way in which we all perceive and look at things that happen to us really counts to get the best decision taken at the right time. If our eyesight first hocks the positive side, then we will never feel we are lost. Rather, the impact of what happens to us could be easily accepted. There is nothing called a dead end or unsolved problem! One has to think positively and believe in the possibility to get things fixed the way you like.
Actually, the choice is ours whether we become a victim or a victor of the challenges we come across. Sometime, we only needs to be more confident and roll the dice to make things come the way we wish. The first feeling that one must perceive is that problems are only opportunities with thorns on them, so they do not come with values stamped upon them. Then, one has to remember that there is a lesson behind every challenge, which would be discovered eventually.
In view of this, taking a decision comes among the key challenges that we all face in life. This process is always difficult regardless how important the matter is. Sometimes we make a decision, which we might regret later on. It is of course frustrating and hard to feel that you made a wrong or unlikable decision. To tell the truth, it is most irritating when it comes to making your mind up on money making or jobs selection.
However, do not worry at all; this is just a very normal feeling and thought that we all get, especially when not sure about the decision to make. Likewise, as we regret a decision we had taken earlier, this marks a learning experience. Whenever we don't give ourselves enough time to make our mind, we definitely get such kind of feelings or self-blame. Those very unpleasant thoughts and emotions remain itching in our minds and boiling in our hearts.
However, it helps us recall things we have made or review a decision have been taken sometimes back. With this critically distressing thinking and brainstorming, we get to discover our slips and mistakes, which are learning points. Though it might be hard and intolerable experience. We learn things from our reoccurring mistakes, so we can get things right in the next time while taking a decision. Hence, never blame yourself for making a mistake or undesirable decision for it could be the right one and you might realise that someday afterward.
On the other hand, the Almighty Allah tests our patience and believe on Him through different challenges. He is always there with us as life is getting harder and complicated. Trust that Allah is bestowing people things for their own good on certain times throughout their lifespan. Thus, we should have faith that whatever happens comes as a blessing of different forms. Our beliefs and confidence are behind our attitudes, perception of life and ultimately the decisions we make.
Simply, one has to live the moment and have some hope that challenges bring better opportunities. As Helen Keller, an American lecturer and creative author, said, “Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.”
