As humans we often take decisions based on our Gut Feeling. Yes, it's kind of methodical. There are many instances where we all feel right about our resolutions. When we take decisions based of off our gut feeling, we are almost always using our emotions more than the logic. These emotions are driven based on our past experiences and how they made us feel. These series of experiences dictate our gut feelings, which is innate in all of us.
While it is not completely wrong to fight your instincts, because in many situations we can not relay just on feelings. For example, when we do Math, it takes an effort to calculate and be right. We are as good as our experiences, good or bad, positive or negative. If not paid attention, we all become victim to our past experiences, which in turn drive our decision making ability.
By nature we are intuitive, but at the same time limited by our experiences. At times we feel we did the right thing, but the question we need to ask, was it situational? Would you make the same decision if you run into something similar? If not, then you know it wasn't a well thought decision. Also, in many cases the differences between people is what stops them from getting help. Our resistance is sheerly due to ego or distrust.
Being right takes effort. We have to be open for suggestions, fight our calculated, emotional decisions and realize that at the end of the day, we want what's right for us and for others.
I like the expression "Don't judge me till you walk a mile in my shoes" or "live a day in my life". Makes us rethink about our decisions, our judgements and how we look at others. Taking time to analyze a situation without emotionally getting attached would lead us to better results. Most importantly save time, few relations and in some cases could be money as well.
While contemplating on this thought, I just came to realize that, I fear posting my thoughts anywhere else other than on this blog because "I FEEL", I don't write that well. If I need to be RIGHT then I have to set my emotional feeling aside and look beyond the horizon and make an effort to take the RIGHT decision.
Ah! May be this one was for me :)
