Do you have trouble making choices and decisions or are you quick to act?

Hi Karen! Normally I donot procastinate or postpone decisions in any matter. I believe in the dictum - "It is better to take a decision than not to take a decision, even if the decision comes out wrong". I believe that not taking a decision on any issue causes more tension to us than taking a wrong decision. I do not delay, however, sometimes, in my hurry to take decisions, my decisions turn out wrong. If any of my decision comes out wrong, I convince myself saying that at that time my mind decided to take this decision, keeping in view all the facts and circumstances of the issue, therefore, I did the right thing. Good Post!!!

you know what?i have experienced difficulties in making decisions too... let me tell you about it. it was when my boyfriend proposed a marriage with me...but i felt difficult to answer him because i am still studying.he let me chose between him and my study. of course, it's really hard to chose because i love my boyfriend and i have also a dream to finish my study.. i spent many times of thinking it over... later i decide to let go of him and chose to continue my study. it doesn't mean i don't love him,...i love him so much but i can't afford to sacrifice my future. i come to think that if you are really loved by that person, he will not let you chose.he can wait for you until you finish your study. what i did is to think both sides...weigh it over and think the most important one that you might not felt sorry for lifetime. it hurts but i know i did the best decision... just think the advantage and disadvantages of both sides... just like mine, said to myself that i boyfriends can be found someday but education is the opportunity that might not knocks on my door again...

Hey, Well usually I have trouble making choices and decisions, I am never too quick to act. This is because their is a constant battle in my head that is negotiating with myself to see whether the choice I am making is good or bad. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Hello my friend PeacefulWmn9 Ji, I am happy that I fall under your catagory, whereas my hubby is just opposite. He takes immediate and quick dicissions like he is going for fire-fighting. he nevr turns his back. Also he never repents for any of his dicssions. May god bless You and have a great time.

I think that before you make a very big decision, you should think it over. But sometimes, there are circumstances that needs quick thinking ability. I think everybody has its capability to do both, it matters on the circumstances that they are in that they need to rethink or make decision quickly.

Hi Karen! My friends would always regard me having a strong personality as I readily have decisions with confidence on things happening around me. Most often I can prove my decisions right, however there are times that I need to suffer the consequence of my being an abrupt thinker. Well this is the fact of life, what matters most to me is along the process I tend to become a better and wiser person the next time around. Cheers!

I think i am the most confused person of the world. Even in small decisions i fail to select one quickly .Actualy, i am dissappointed by my some of wrong decision that realy hurted so now i am very carefull about everything.

I did also rapid dicisions and think right away. But sometimes regrets why I have it decide like that. I'm so impulsive about making dicisions and oftentimes but some great deal I also sad why accept without thinking the advantage and advantages to it. I think thats me heheheh.

Hi. I'd like to think I make decisions quickly and hopefully wisely. Usually if i came across a problem i'll ask myself the following to lead to an answer... 1. is this problem urgent or can i take my time? 2. how much time should i give myself to evaluate the pros and cons? 3. is the pros and cons based on facts or assumptions? 4. who is affected by this decision? 5. What could possibly go wrong if i chose the wrong decision? 6. Is is possible to undo? If a complex decision have to be made in a short time, the probability of being wrong is strong. Based on my experience most people thought their assumptions are facts instead of vice versa. Most people will choose a decision that they can undo. Only the strong (people with principals and values) have the guts to decide what they think is right. They are aware of question 5 and 6 but they go ahead and do it regardless of it because the decision defines who they are.

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. So, I'll put myself in the category in which you are. I also fall somewhere in the midst.

I try to weigh my options carefully before I make a decision. For example, I wanted a laptop and it costed like $458 with twelve months to pay via credit card. i really wanted that laptop and wanted to buy it right then and there but i decided to think it over for more than a month and see if i still like tha laptop. i pretty much felt the same way after a month of mulling it over and bought the laptop last week with no regrets so far after.

Yes isn't it a pit,youn know they say we are defined by the choices we make...Well we do pay the price for them anyway... who ever said it was easy? So much can go into a choice...maybe little ones are easy, but remember they all lead up to the big ones we make.Whats a healthy bondry? Do you know how to define the things you will allow in your personal space?I can't say I go back and forth, unless it is in the begining discusion I have with myself. I always hated them too, cause I worried about them....then one day I didn't worry...and it was easier. Try that one thanks Madell

i too have problem in making decision and after taking the decision. i think may its was right to take other option.i always feel this way when i take any decision. and i am really poor in taking decision.

One of my finer qualities is the ability to view a situation from all angles. People tend to come to me for advice because I am open-minded and can see things from a variety of perspectives. However, this is real hinderance when it comes to making a decision. I mean you can make a Pro/Con list, but many things can be both Pro AND Con depending on your perspective, or someone else's perspective. I blame it on my Libra-ness!

I think I am also like you, I fall between the two of those decision makers. I don't have trouble in making decisions and I don't make quick decisions. I think out of the box. I am confident what will ever be my decision as I try to analyze and see what will be the pros and cons of that certain thing before making a decision. I am firm in my decision making and I don't change my decision not unless there is a justifiable reason and I will make an exemption to change my decision. I am not fickle minded like other women.

that is a god question and my fast decision was to answere. Well, I do right away what I have in mind I do not think much before make a decision. However, I might think of different possibilities before the decision to make. I like to know what the consequenses might be of my decision depending on what the issue is. For example, make a choose of what food to have for dinner, it´s not only mine to make, that is a family decision since it has a direct impact on each one of the family member. I always ask my son, becouse if I make that decision on my own it ends up with me cooking two different type of dinners, since my son with ADHD AND AUTISM do not eat everything. We make decisions, and chooses every day, and some you have to make at where you standing, but some do need some thinking before to make them.

I can make quick decisions even if it involves a matter of great importance; specially when it's urgent and even device plans or certain course of actions when things go out of hand. Maybe I'm just trained that way, coz when I was a child, being the eldest, my father have such high expectations from me, sometimes its really crazy but I get used to it... there are really people who are born to be good leaders and good decision-makers while the rest are good being a team-player.

It depends on the situation.

good topic,actually, i always hesitate when make a decision or a choice, it is necessary for me to learn more to make quick decision.

Well as for me, I don't make decisions right away especially unless it requires me to decide abruptly.But usually when i decide on something I always think about the future and hows it gonna be.It's draw back and advantages. when I'm so sure, then i can decide.
