Why is a person given freedom of choice? Many do not understand what this or that action or decision will lead to. What is the meaning of this strange gift? It would be much easier and wiser for God to decide everything for a person. Nevertheless, each of us has the ability to choose, and we have to make a choice every day. How do you learn to make the right, independent decision?
Instructions
Step 1
Decide on a goal. Every time life takes you to a crossroads, think about what exactly you are striving for? What's your goal? Take your time and analyze this moment carefully. Think about which path will lead you to the desired goal, and which will lead you aside. You need to be able to ask yourself such questions and answer them seriously, without making any allowances for external circumstances.
Step 2
Abstract yourself from public opinion. It is believed that many people who are influenced by others are living someone else's life. They achieve goals completely unnecessary for them, implement the life programs of other people, instead of dealing with their individuality. At the heart of these mistakes is unwillingness to think and envy. It is important to drop the desire to “be right,” to be “no worse than others,” to please everyone. And figure out what it is you are drawn to.
Step 3
Don't be afraid to disappoint someone. Parents, friends, a loved one will understand you, even if you make a mistake in your choice. And if you do not find understanding among your loved ones, at least you will have self-respect. It's much better than living a meaningless life. Get rid of illusions, build your destiny based on your own ideas about it.
Step 4
Learn to take responsibility for the consequences. To do this, analyze the possible scenarios for the development of events. If you (contrary to advice) do your own thing, you must be prepared for the fact that you will have to answer for the decision you made. It's risky. But that's how you become a person.
Step 5
Take some time away from your routine to be able to make a decision. Getting bogged down in everyday affairs, daily routine, you run the risk of making a choice "on the machine." If you have a really big decision, get out of town for a few days, take a day off from work. Try to get out of your usual rhythm of life. A change of environment will help you act and think more freely.
Step 6
Deal with your own personality. What exactly is your uniqueness? If you answer the questions of who you are and where you are going, the decision will come immediately.
