Is There A Perfect Choice?

Is There A Perfect Choice?

  • There IS a perfect choice, but it’s based on your wants. What is a perfect choice? This is same for buying a car, choosing a partner, or just picking tonight’s dinner. There is no one size fit all, so don’t try to find something that is good for EVERYONE. Remember your individual needs, and if the choice is perfect for your needs. It’s Perfect! Don’t compare, once we go down the road of comparison, everything starts to look like a lesser choice. Make sure the choice caters to YOUR need.
  • Most common mistake is not knowing what we really want.
    • We all want to feel like we know what we want, but we sometimes we don’t. - Whenever we come to a big decision in our lives, we should layout clearly what are the pros and cons of each decision. However, instead we either make the decision on the spot or think about it for 5 minutes. That’s not enough! Look back in your past, because it will really tell you what you actually want. After that, you can find what choice will elevate your life and your relationships.
  • When we prioritize important tasks, we have to be willing to make sacrifices.
    • What we need shapes our criteria for the perfect choice. - In my life, I might need something to  help me manage my time better, but my friend might need something to keep his body healthy. His perfect choice for a Christmas gift would definitely be different than mine.
      • What are the most important attributes that you value?
    • Not all choices will be perfect. - A car you want might have good gas mileage, but not exactly stylish. Another car might look stunning, but too little leg room. Give and take; there are rarely any selection that fits ALL our needs, so just make sure your top priorities are met.
    • Clear choices come from clear priorities. - Nothing enables speed more than clarity. If you know your destination, you know what you need to do to get there. Clarity is your key time saver, because you don’t need to use extra energy or time to question the decision. You know it already.
    • More clarity means more speed, less hesitation. - How many times have we went into a grocery store and came out with a lot more than we wanted? Or maybe not just at the grocery store? When we know exactly what we want, we are not distracted with what we don’t need. So we can get in, get out, and not waste anymore money, time or energy. What a life saver.
  • We can’t let emotions rule our decisions.
    • Emotional decisions can take us off track quickly. Impulse buys usually not are the best buys. - How many bad decision have we made when we were angry? sad? too excited? Yeah, emotions does play on us and make our judgements clouded, so we can’t make decisions straight. Hence the saying “Sleep on it.”, it’s a reminder for us to let our emotions cool off before an important decision.
