The title is way too vague for a post. But, let us just narrow it down here. We are going to talk about taking a decision!
In life, we get many opportunities and chances. We may do not realize all of them. But, those which we realize puts us on the verge of deciding where to go next. It is like a cross roads. Each road will take us to a different location. Should we go right or left?
With all of the information that we have gathered through our experience and reading, we attempt to make a decision. Sometimes, the decision that we take is easy to us. We know exactly what we should do next. Or better said, what is best for us. However, sometimes we have two good choice or bad choice. It could even be similar choices, not good or bad ones. What do we do in that case?
A lot of the times, some people start with putting positives and negatives with each choice. With the decision that they should go with. While that is a good practice. But, it is also possible that it leaves one uncertain. Weighing the positives against the negatives might not be always the best thing to do. At times, we have many positives against one negative, and that one negative is holding us back. However, I would still emphasize that it is good to have it in mind.
With that being said, we can now talk about "Five Seconds".
What do we mean by "Five Seconds"?
There is something called, The Five Seconds Rule. Mel Robbins have talked about this also. You can find her videos on the internet about it. Or, just read it if that is what you prefer.
The Five Seconds Rule is basically an idea to help us make a decision faster. Instead of just thinking something over and over again and stay where we at without taking a decision. This rule is stating that those who suffer from thinking something over and over again, should start practicing taking a decision within the first five seconds. This is no guarantee to making the best decision ever! But, it ensures that one takes a decision.
After that, one could work on making that decision right!
To conclude, I will leave you with a question:
Do you agree with the idea of The Five Seconds Rule?
