I have a habit of envisioning what it would be like if I followed through on a decision I'm now making, and there are times when I realize that if I go down a particular road, I'll almost certainly regret my decision. I often consider about options and decisions that, if I had made them, might have resulted in a different outcome in my life.

The decisions we've made in the past have shaped our present, and the decisions we make today will shape our future. Your life will be better and more lovely if you are more careful with your decisions. Let us not forget, however, that there are many decisions we should never make since there are many decisions we will regret for the rest of our lives.

Here's a list of 7 decisions you'll regret for the rest of your life:

1. You allow others to make your decisions for you.

The greatest hurdle you'll face in life is figuring out who you truly are. And you can't help but be joyful once you figure out who you really are. Your capacity to stay in touch with your own aspirations and desires is critical to getting there. Do you have somebody in your life who opposes you? That's fantastic! This signifies you've decided on a set of ideals and beliefs to live by.

Others may think what you're doing is ridiculous, dull, or pointless at times, but when you lose count of time because you're completely immersed in what you're doing, you know it's the correct thing to do.

2. You attempt to plan out every detail.

It's sometimes best to unwind and let life unfold than than trying to plan every move you take. Take a few deep breaths and then take the following move only after things have calmed down and you can see the broad picture again. To get somewhere nice, you don't have to know which way you're going all of the time. Recognize that everything in life is in perfect order. All you have to do now is give it some time to sink in.

3. You believe you have too much time on your hands.

The issue is that you constantly feel like you have more time on your hands than you actually do. However, you may find that you don't have enough time to do the things you've always wanted to do. When you get there, you'll either have a list of goals you established and achieved, or a list of excuses, things that were totally dependent on your effort and desire.

4. You impersonate someone else in order to impress people.

If you make it a habit of not being yourself when you walk out into the world, you could not recognize yourself one day. When you spend a lot of time worrying about how others see you or what they want you to be, you risk forgetting who you are.

So don't be concerned about what people think of you. Knowing who you are and what is truly important to you is the most important thing. Nobody ever claimed you had to be perfect in order to impress or inspire people. Allow people to be inspired and impressed by how you deal with your flaws.

5. You don't want to develop or change.

If you want to know if you've made smart choices in the past, pay attention to the present moment. If you want to have an impact on the future, pay attention to the choices you make now. It's critical to let go of what was in order to make place for change in your life. What was is stale, gone, and never to return. Instead of relapsing to old habits, you can take the required steps to put yourself in a position that supports you and gives you new insights once you recognize this.

6. You're surrounded by folks that drag you down.

Allowing somebody with a negative attitude to bring you down is not a good idea. Allowing them to get to you is a bad idea. They won't be able to damage you if you don't let them. Instead of perceiving it as a duty, remember that you have the choice whether or not you want to be around such individuals. Walk away and leave them alone. I don't believe you need to be around such individuals; if you can't help them, you should leave.

7. You only look at the surface of things.

You have a responsibility to give the world your best now that you are here. Get to work, establish a real plan, and take action instead of daydreaming. Accept responsibility for your feelings and how you interpret what is going on around you. You've arrived, and you're required. It's too late to sit around and hope that someone else will act at some point. That time has come. You are the person the world requires.
