LIFE'S DECISIONS: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly!

I don't know what life is throwing at you right now, but I believe it's not beyond what you can handle. I will like to define what life is, then we move to what a decision is.

What is Life? and what is decision? These two words look so simple to define but yet many of us won't find it so easy to provide a definition for them.

Life, according to advanced English dictionary, is the state of being alive and living. This definition proves one thing, that life as we see it, have a starting point, go through some numerous processes, and then it will finally seize to exist. But this life processes are those period you and I are right now, the state of being alive.

During the state of being alive, we make some decisions that mold us into what we've become. Let's take a quick look on the definition of a Decision. A decision is the ACT of deciding, simply means making a choice out of limited alternatives.

Now let's face it, some of us have made some really bad decisions in life, and while some of us finds making good decision in life a piece of cake. Making bad decisions in life is allowed, without it, there won't be any good decision, because good decisions won't even feel good to Us; but realizing that the bad decision we made is wrong, is what so many of us finds so hard to figure out until the repercussion doomed on us, and this waste so much of our limited time in life with no good achievement to show for it.

Some of us will even go as far as trying to copy someone Else's personality, thereby forgetting who we really are. Most of these celebrities who are into showbiz will never show us what life really is, all they project for us is good and flashy expensive life which 99% of them are fake.

Why would I want to become a celebrity who works hard all his life to become known and then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized. I'd rather be unpopular and have a peaceful enjoyment with my life.

Some of us believe that squandering money like we see on today's music videos is what a good life means, and this have made so many people chose to become a bad person by making a decision of having money regardless of the cost, even if it's their fellow human life.

Let's do some analysis here. We want to have so much money Right? why can't we make a decision today to dig into Bill gate's life and find out the decisions he made to become the richest man on planet earth. We may not be as rich as he is, but we will surely have a plan, and it will definitely change our psychological thinking, because people like that took steps in building their wealth and didn't hope to become billionaires overnight.

A wise man once said that decisions we make in our lifetime is what makes people called us wise men at old age. Because whether we like it or not, we will become wise when we grow old, but different people will have different stories to tell (the good and the bad).

Let me stop here. But don't be afraid to make decisions in life, and don't be afraid to have role models, but choose every decision you want to make with care by not just looking at what it will yield for you at present, but the values it's going to add into your life in the future.

Do not make decisions that will turn you into a bad person in life. Try and leave a good legacy for the generations that are coming. Don't say because everybody is doing it, then it's fine to join in. No! It's not. Make a decision today to be the change you hope to see in people that surrounds you. Be smart, Be yourself.

My number one role model is Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w), he led such a peaceful life with great leadership skills I'd love to emulate.
