Mastering the Perfect Decision

I’m sure you’ve heard time again and again that you simply cannot plan out everything. That there are some things that are just left to chance. Honestly, whoever relayed those words of wisdom is right. However, I’m here to teach you that there are things you actually can plan for. Please don’t think this is the secret to life because its not. Use your common sense and apply it when the time is right. I’m going to give you something like an algorithm that will make that next milestone decision you make the right one. Not morally, but logically. Leave your feelings at the door. This article is about reason.

The decisions you make I’m sure you have your own system for. As an adult, you defiantly should. I’m sure we’re all stuck in our own ways. So think of this concept as an add on, rather then something you have to change into, so you can be more receptive to it. In every sophisticated decision we make we have a process. What I hope you get from this publishing is an understanding that its an A+B=C process. Throughout the longevity of this article I will elaborate what each component means. This method ensures minimal damage, gain increase, and new perspective. So, let’s get started.

The “A”. The “A”, reflects the circumstance you’re in. It reflects your complete evaluation of a decision from every angle. While you are in the mindset of determining the circumstance, you make the determination of the odds of winning or losing. Sounds simple, I know. But sitting on this thought can change. How about determining the odds for a longer period of time? Not so simple now, is it? The longer you think about odds of a circumstance the longer you witness the clarity toward what you are actually in.

“A” deserves another paragraph so just hang tight. While determining the odds. What you might also want to consider is what you gain, in comparison to what you may lose. Just because the odds are in your favor does not mean its worth the jump. I like that quote so don’t take it. Overall, contemplate the circumstance you’re in, determine the odds of winning, then the consequence of those odds. What will you be gaining? The simultaneous thought is what “A” means.

Next, we have the “B” for “Buckle Up” here we go. Your calculation of odds now carries over to the “B” of this equation. If you decide your odds are good, and you have a reasonable amount to gain you take the leap. That leap is this component. You made the decision. You’re in it. Made your bed. Now it’s your responsibility to monitor those odds and not lose sight to what you’ve committed yourself too. If you decide your odds are good and you have a reasonable amount to gain, you want those odds to remain as such. To ensure these odds remain you want to pay attention to time, as well as external and internal factors. In time, every once in a while you want to monitor how are those odds doing. Are they the same or have they been changed? If they have been changed, it’s usually through and external or internal factor. External? That can be anyone or anything that might change your odds. Your boss. Ex-wife. Children. Money. You get the drift. Internal? You. Maybe you have something internally holding you back or something you changed internally that may have been influenced by something external that changed your odds. So external and internal factors also influence these odds. All-in-all, pay attention in occasionally monitoring your “A” odds. Then take note to external and internal factors that may change them.

“B” deserves another paragraph too. When you make a choice of your odds of winning, you want those odds to remain the same in monitoring your wins making sure external and internal factors increase those odds or lower them. Example, might be that next job you look for. After you make those odds, make sure you’re in good standing (AKA time monitoring). While looking at external and internal factors, making sure no one jeopardizes your odds or yourself.

While we’re in “B”, this reading will make sure you think more now of where you might stand in situations. Ultimately, raising your awareness in helping you move to “C”. Now moving to “C” may be complicated. As odds while in “B” can fluctuate from good to bad or from bad to good. As humans, we usually wait for the external factor to make that shift for us. Example, maybe your boss fires you, or you simply got a better opportunity somewhere in life. Be very careful to this life hack. YOU can also make that shift instead of waiting for that external factor. Know when to cash in your chips and jump into “C” in being content with your odds still and what left you have to gain.

“C”. Now “C” is the moment of reality. “C” reflects you got what you came in with. And sometimes it’s not always what we expect. This method changes that. This will teach you, when to back out and be content with what you have left to gain. Sometimes we can be so greedy and be stuck in “B” wanting more when we actually got what we came for. Nevertheless, “C” is your end result. Ideally you have what you calculated for in the beginning. If it is more, then you cashed out at the right time in “B” in monitoring your odds. If less, you simply backed out at the wrong time, and you can learn through that experience in utilizing it in your next large decision. If you get an exact match, then job well done.

Using this method will only boost your awareness. You will learn in the duration of using this method, your level of loss will begin to diminish while winning more, and learning your mistakes. Hope you take something from this. (A+B=C)
