Making those important decisions

It is no big secret that I hate decisions, I am just not a decisive person. Back in my younger days, I was very much carefree, would act on things in a whim, totally irresponsible some might say. It was after a succession of stupid decisions that I finally decided I would avoid all decisions. So picture me a few years ago, stood in the showroom of Vauxhall, crying to the salesman as he asked me what colour car I wanted. I knew whatever I picked, it would be wrong and that I would regret it, and that terrified me when I am spending £15k on something. Here I am years later, and it turns out the biggest mistake wasn’t actually the colour, it was buying a hatchback when I then went on to have two more children. I still can’t bear to get rid of that hatchback, despite the fact I cannot fit all my children inside at one time! Living with your mistakes, and accepting them is all part of adult life.

In the end I have come up with a few ways of helping myself to make decisions. I would like to say there is theory in my madness, but this is me you are talking about, and ‘eenie meeny minie mo’, is actually how I make some very grown up decisions about my future. I know, there is so many better ways, such as writing a list of pros and cons, maybe even getting a psychic reading done, or maybe even asking the advice of friends and family. But I genuinely do think that maybe our lives are mapped out for us to a certain degree, yes we make our own choices, but sometimes we need to go through poop times, to appreciate the good. The bad decisions I made have shaped me though, they made me stronger and made me reassess life, sounds crazy hey? As for the simple decisions, like what to pick off a menu, well all I can advise is to await for the waiter to come along and make an on-the-spot decision, less time to be indecisive then!
