Making a decision

Monday, February 26th, 2007

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.

Who would you have a beer/coffee with?

Hmmmmmmmmm…..
Let’s see we have our standard answers, someone famous, the president, God, etc. I of coarse would like to sit down with my grandfathers. I think that since I have grown up I would like their opinions on so many things. Not to mention I would appreciate their life experiences so much more now. I would love to hear them tell stories about their lives.
Then there is Kenny Chesney, just so I could hear him sing
Dale Earnhardt Jr, to talk about racing.
F. Scott Fitzgerald, to talk about the Great Gatsby.
Jimmy Buffett, I need to know what it is like to live in paradise.
I can think of Historical figures:
Roosevelt, I would love to know what he was thinking during war.
Hitler, how did he think he was doing something good.
Stalin, what was going on in your head.
This train of thought came out of a radio station I was listening to this morning. Someone on the radio said they would like to talk to a World War II Veteran that saw combat to see what it was really like.
Besides all the people I have mentioned I would like to talk to Henry Bergh. He is the one who started the ASPCA. I would like to know what it takes to start such an organization and what made him do it. I would like to know how I can start my own rescue, since this is my dream…….
