Making a decision

Why is making a decision so difficult?

I mean really what are the steps:

1. Identify there is a choice to make

2. Identify the choices

3. Note the Pros and Cons of each out come

4. Weigh the Pros and Cons of each out come

5. Choose which solution is more beneficial

Ok 5 Steps, so why is it so complex?

We make thousands of decisions in a day from what to eat, which way to drive to work, or what shows to watch at night. For these decisions our brain does a mini analysis of the situation to come up with the best solution. These are simple tasks hardly thought of in a normal day.

Now for those decisions that will have more of an impact on our lives we may take a little longer. What college should we attend, which job should we take, which house should we buy. These things have to be thought of extensively because of the impact they have on our future.

When saying yes to a marriage proposal or giving one you don’t have to go through these steps, you just know that it is the right thing.

So tell me why it is so difficult to decide if you want a family or not. Is it because you are responsible for another life? You have to stop being selfish? Your life changes? I don’t know what the answer is but I believe people over analyze this decision. I am sure I am one of them.
