Hi
I think that most of us encounter similar situations in our lives and fill up us with stress and pass difficult days with dark and somber thoughts.
I believe that some things we do or say can be undone but some decisions can not because it is too late.
I hope that your problem can be fixed and that it is not too late for this.

We believe that what ever decision we made we must have to embrace the consequences, Options are made for us to choose and decide for what we think is better, sometimes it is otherwise and everything turned out contrasting to our expectations. decision might affects our personal environment and the people around us. Problems resulting from a decision can not be fix instantly, You can find solutions gradually by understanding it! Problems are just like some lessons to learn, the more that you are expose into the situation,the more you learn how to handle and deal with it, just consider it as an experience.......Sometimes EXPERIENCE is hard teacher,he gives the tests first and the lesson afterwards!

Sad to know you took kind of wrong decision, as human being we commit errors, take wrong decision at times, but that teaches us to be careful and alert, we learn lessons there by, now i am 67, have faced many such situations, but faced all boldly..
Best of luck.

It is not about right or wrong but perhaps it is just not the best choice to pick. Sometimes, we can't really know for sure if it's the best choice until we're already on the road towards that choice we've picked. Now, if I ended picking a choice that made things worse instead of better, then I'd try my very best to backtrack. If that is not possible, then I'll make sure that when the next fork on the road appears, I'll give it more thought when deciding which path to take.

we really have to make life decisions, big or small, but we have to pray for whatever results. we have to trust God.

we had recently started a new buisness. But out of this recession all our expectations just gone vague.Really feel bad about not getting the outcome with which we had started that business. so today has decided to shut it down.Its better to stop rather than incurring losses and paying out of our own pocket.
will have to follow the let go policy that is the only way one can stay calm.

I often made wrong decision one after another. From love life to career, I made mistakes and try my best to cope with the result. Life can't be restart, you need to learn and go through with it. Regardless what I can't rewind it. Well I always think there's a reason for everything, good or bad. So I always try to look on the positive side. It work better that way.

Hi Asliah
I also had experienced these kind of situations many a times in my life. Sometimes even the words that I have spoken also were misinterpreted and it used to gimme a lot of trouble and stress. The best way to take the stress is to ignore it, stay calm and stay focused on the things you like to do and stay with ppl you love and completely try to forget the things that are stressing you out. Time is a big healer and after some days everything will be normal and on track. Stay calm and try not to think of them.

I have an emotional mother that needs love and sympathy from me which is why I spend less time minding about my father. Then came the day my father had cancer and it's too late to save his life. I learned the hard way to not only concentrate care to one parent and not the other.

People do make wrong decisions once in awhile and people regret. It's like a cycle. But to be doing the same mistake over and over again, i call it stupidity. And when people ignore the advice of family, i get disappointed at them too. Why? A family only wants to protect its member and would never do things to hurt them no matter how selfish it may sound. In the end we would find out that our family was right and we come back running to them in tears and they would still welcome us with open arms.
How to deal with it? Learn from it and move on. Listen to those who truly care for you and seek their advice.

I think all of us here experienced that. No one is perfect and we all do have made wrong decision. The consequence of it are really very hard to comprehend. What you could do is to find the root of the mistake you make and try to your best to solve it. When time comes that you cannot solve it, just take this experience as a learning experience so that when you are face with the same decision making, you would know what course of action to take.

It happened to not once but many times. I think all of us are experiencing this once in a while. But we should see it as an opportunity to learn. Through this mistakes, we learn something and it will help us to become better person. It will also help us what decision to take should we encounter the same situation.

hi asliah..i think we all encounter making wrong decisions in life..and for me, i believe it makes us a better and stronger person..
every time i encounter such, i always pray to God to guide me with my next move to correct my mistake..but i always put in my mind and in my heart that another mistake or wrong decision won't correct the previous one..so a lot of thinking and rethinking is always needed for that..

hi asliah,
There is no wrong or right decision in our life. By taking one decision between any options, then surely it favours one side and affects another side. It happen to me. Often me to worrying in such situation for taking decisions wrongly but that too teach you exprience. In that situations we used to blame god or some other persons for the result, If we realize the good or bad things which happens to us is all because of our terms only.
Have a happy day !

When I think I've made a wrong decision, I think about it for a while and decide on how I can make the most out of it. I try to turn it for the better as much as I can. But if there's nothing I can do to make it better then I just think about what I learn from that wrong decision.

Do the best you can to help you out the problem and leave it to God to ask for His help. If you beloong to Muslim/Islam, pray 5 times a day + additional prayers such as 'Dhuha prayer', 'tahajud prayer' and other additional prayers normally performed before and after obligatory prayers. Keep doing it for the rest of your life. But if you belong to another--pray to God according to your belief. Problems will be resolved in the end because God--the Creator of The Universe--never gives temptations beyond one's capability.

i have made a wrong decision and that was getting married. Not only did it break up, but it made my life a living hell now. Be careful what you do and who you commit to. Or just don't commit. Before making a choice for anything, think it over real good and weigh your options.

In life, we are often wrong in taking decisions, even for something that very important to our lives. So i think it's normal, do not feel burdened, it is best to try to forget it, and continu your life with positive thoughts.
