People respond to difficult situations and circumstances differently. Events sometimes makes people take count and reflect on what is important to them. Some hasten up decision making on issues they have been dragging their foot on. Now, the type of action or decisions and the motive behind the act will determine if the decision will stand the test of time.
Look at the examples below and let me know if the decision is a right one.
1. Dele wasn’t sure Dara fits his long term marriage goal and has been dragging his feet. He suddenly loses a close friend who wasnt married and didnt have kids. Next thing, he decided to marry Dara like that.
2. Simbi is very irrational in her behavior and quick to threaten her husband with a divorce because she knows he will always beg whether he is at fault or not. He decided to call her bluff and she immediately realized the error in her ways. She made a decision to change. Will her decision stand the test of time ?
3. Happy is a spender. His motto is “ you only live once” , spend this money. He is faced with a difficult situation and he realised how his lifestyle has impacted opportunities. He decided to turn a new leave.
Now, when things happen and you decide on an action, ask yourself
“what is motivating my decision ?
Is the motivating factor enough to sustain this action?This is relevant in all aspect of life.
Why am I taking this action?
