Am I Right ?

I was thinking about this today, how do we make decisions? There are seemingly endless streams of input for people in today's world, how do we sort things out and decide?

A lot of people seriously doubt themselves, and when you doubt yourself you can't ever seem to decide what to do. You cannot ever be consistent because you teeter back and forth, sometimes a good decision, sometimes a bad decision. How can you doubt yourself? No one else in the world knows what is better for you. Every person lives in their own personal worlds, sure we share a great deal of experience with everyone else. But everything that you do, and everything that you know, that is what make us individuals and that is what separates us from our communal experience of society. Pay attention to how your body acts, your moods, your energy levels, and then just start doing things to make yourself feel better. Simple little things make life so much easier. If you are doing things that you just know you should quit, just quit them, we are not slaves. Do what makes you happy, and truly feel happy.

For me, the best way to make decisions that I stick to is; to just set goals. Because if you have a goal in mind you can just decide, does this help me or hurt me in my pursuit of the goal? This usually takes away at least 50% of the decisions that you can make wrong. Sometimes I feel like I live in a world of check marks and columns, but I don't recommend taking everything literally. And if you set goals that you believe you can make, and goals that you think will make you a better person

I think that most people use how people look at them, as an expression of how well they are doing at life. The problem with that idea is that I feel that your world outside reflects who you are. That is why you see so many people that look like they are doing fantastic end up in drug rehab, you cannot judge someone by their looks. But if you see a person that captivates a room of people, and you see them telling a story. You ask, is he right? Odds are that the person that is holding that audience, isn't scared to be wrong.
