You are your decisions.

MINDS, BRAINS, AND EMOTIONS.

Decision making is a crucial part of every man's life, and how a man's judgements are made up is as important as the man's future, and what he wants to become. If decisions are not made with the right instruments and factors adequately examined, problems are likely to abound. Numerous are the factors and elements that determine and affect our decision making, and of all, the mind, brain, and emotions are crucial and most personal.

As personal and deep as our emotions might be, it is one of the most faulty instruments of decision making. Before we can engage our emotions in reaching conclusion for a decision, we must have passed it through our mind and brain, and if proper scrutiny has been done, emotions might not be a necessary consideration.

The brain deals mostly with facts and figures, it examines past experiences, and lessons, then draws up a mental graph for the probability of success against failure. This is probably the best means of consciously reaching a decision, as the presence of accurate and precise information will aid proper judgement.

Sometimes, a strong nudging from the mind to do a certain thing, follow a particular path, or act in a certain way is all we need to get on track to achieve some things we want, and need to achieve. The mind is a worthy compass that can be followed, but it must be a mind that has been well fed, and positively nurtured. Whatever you do, make determined efforts to ensure your decisions are the right ones, as Wesam Fawzi would say, “The quality of your life is built on the quality of your decisions.”
