The Best Decisions YOU Should Ever Make In YOUR LIFE!

During the course of your life, you will be faced with a few life-changing decisions. Make the best decisions in these situations, and it will completely change the way you experience the time you have on this planet.

And even though most decisions are reversible, they will still have a great impact on your life.

Moving to a place that allows you to grow

There’s the place where you grow up, and there’s a place that you settle in, eventually.

But somewhere in between, there’s this little place where you grow up.

Maybe it’s the city where your college is, maybe you move for work, or a place where starting your adult life from scratch is a bit easier.

But at some point, you will be in a position where you have the means and the space to decide where to move purely based on whether that new pace is good for you.

• Maybe it’s a place perfect for raising your kids.
• Maybe it’s somewhere close to the sea, and you end up having a healthier lifestyle.
• Maybe it’s close to the mountains, and you discover the beauty of hikes in nature and fresh air.

The point is that the decision to move to a place because it’s good for you will always be a great one to take.

Figuring out money as soon as possible

The reality is that for as long as we keep existing, the world will run on money.

That’s just facts.

At the end of the day, there is nothing in this world you can do without money. “But, a fucking walk in the park doesn’t require money”

We all know that is true, but the rent for a place in a city that has a park does.

That’s assuming you have the home already.

You see, it’s pretty ignorant, in my at least, to think you can figure out life without figuring out money first.

And that’s because there are two kinds of problems.

Money problems: things like food, clothes, rent, education, and so on, and – Life problems: things like finding your purpose, your passions, who you are, and so on.

And when I say figuring out money, I don’t mean becoming filthy rich and having more money than you can count.

I mean having enough so you don’t have to worry about monthly bills, vacations,  where you send your kids to college, or if you can afford surgery or a safer car for your family.

So, one of the best decisions you can make in life figuring out money ASAP.

The decision to fully commit to something

There’s this clip of Seth Rogan from a couple of months ago where he said: If you don’t quit, you might make it, but if you do quit, you definitely won’t.

It’s a simple and powerful truth. Great things take time and commitment.

And most of the time, even after you have analyzed all the analytics and calculated everything there is to be calculated, you still can’t be sure.

Nobody really knows how things will play out in the end.

The only thing you can do is decide if you stick to it until the end or not.

That project you started might become a successful business, or it might end up in the never-ending graveyard of failed startups.

That new job you got might kick start your career, or you might end up in a dead-end job with no way out and a hard ceiling above you.

The point is that the only way to know how it will play out in the end is to be there.

And look, we cannot tell you what to fully commit to, besides the obvious things like committing to stay healthy or committing to a learner’s mentality.

Because last time I checked, committing to a healthy life has no drawbacks, and there is no way it can play out wrong.

Maybe you outlive your loved ones, but that’s another angle.

But back to the point, you must be ready to fully commit to something you deem worth committing to.

Who do you keep close, and who do you keep far away?

Habits and mentalities have this tendency to rub off from person to person.

You don’t really have a choice in who you spend them with when you’re growing up because you are limited to your immediate area.

But after that, choosing who you spend time with and who you do not greatly impacts your view of life, and this isn’t limited to people and physical space.

It also means what type of content you consume, what accounts you follow, what podcasts you listen to, what books you read, what movies you watch, and so on.

You see, your time, in its most basic form, is spent in one of two ways: input or output.

Input means you spend your time consuming something others have made. This includes anything from Twitter threads and headlines to listening to a conversation.

Output, on the other hand, means using your time to create something.

And it includes anything from cooking breakfast to sharing an idea.

And the thing is, your input greatly affects your output.

Negative inputs result in negative outputs.

In other words, if you hang out with miserable people and consume negative content, there’s a good chance you’ll end up miserable too, with an incredibly pessimistic view of life.

And that’s just not worth it.

People can lift you up, and people can bring you down. Don’t hang out with the last ones.

Putting in the effort to fix a pain

Everyone, at some point, has some kind of baggage they carry with them, slowing them down.

Like a never-ending pain that keeps coming back now and then.

What I’ve found is that putting in the effort to fix that pain is always worth it.

You see, people are not really who they are.

They are either who they make an effort to be, or who they let themselves be.

And making an effort to be the person you want to be is ironically hard.

For instance, if you are an overweight, lazy fat ass and it is seriously affecting your health and well-being, you must first accept this fact.

Which is inconvenient because you have to admit that you failed to take care of yourself. (Lack of responsibility and management skills)

And then you have to make an effort to lose weight, and going to the gym at your stage can feel embarrassing.

Or if you end up in a financially bad situation, you first need to admit to yourself that you suck and are bad with money, which is never fun. (Lack of responsibility and management skills)

Digging yourself out of poverty is a doable but difficult task.

But the point remains: If you have a pain that keeps chipping away at your mental space, make the effort and go fix it.

The decision to be happy

Contrary to popular belief, happiness is not the absence of sadness.

Instead, happiness comes from accomplishment and a sense of meaning, sprinkled with people and memories.

You see, when you manage to achieve something and put your mind to it, you get this great sense of satisfaction and well-being. (#alphalife)

And that achievement can be anything you deem worthy of you.

It can be something as simple as sticking to a basic routine in the morning, like always making your bed after you wake up.

Or as complicated as being on the cover of a publication about the most influential people in a given industry.

The feeling is the same at its core.

On top of that, the sense of meaning comes from something that really matters to you.

Like being a great friend, or a great teacher, or being part of something greater than you.

When you actively pursue these two things, do it with other people, and create memories in the process, that’s when happiness comes to you.

Being a pillar of light for others

One of the best decisions you can make in life is to become a beacon of light for others in their darkness.

By doing so, you don’t just influence others positively; you also create a meaningful connection that elevates your sense of purpose.

When you lift others, guide them, or simply provide them with emotional support, you’ll find that the satisfaction and warmth it brings are unmatched.

It’s about making the conscious decision to not just focus on your journey but to also be an essential part of someone else’s journey, enriching both lives in the process.

Building something from scratch

There’s an indescribable fulfillment in starting something from nothing and watching it grow.

Whether it’s a business, a project, or any form of creation, deciding to build something from scratch brings out the innovator in you.

It allows you to channel your creativity, determination, and problem-solving skills directly into something tangible and rewarding.

It’s not always about the success or the endpoint but rather the journey, the learning, and the experience of creation itself that make this decision so impactful.

Being a mentor and a mentee

Life is a continuous learning journey, and one of the most powerful decisions to make is to be both a mentor and a mentee.

As a mentor, you share your knowledge, experience, and wisdom, helping others avoid the pitfalls that you encounter.
It’s a rewarding relationship where you get to make a significant impact on someone else’s life and career.

On the flip side, being a mentee means acknowledging that there’s always room for growth and improvement.

Having a mentor enables you to learn, gain fresh perspectives, and receive guidance from someone who has already traveled the path you want to take.

It’s a mutual relationship of respect, learning, and development.

However, finding a mentor that you can relate to and has the time and resources to actually provide you with the guidance that you need is highly difficult.

Leaving things better than you found them

Make a decision to always leave things better than you found them, be they situations, places, or relationships.

This is not just about improvement but also about responsibility and respect.

By doing so, you are contributing positively to the world, adding value, and making a difference.

It’s a principle that, when applied in life, becomes a guide towards more mindful, respectful, and purposeful living.

As the saying goes, plant a tree even if you don’t end up staying in its shade.

In the end, life is a string of decisions, and making the best out of the options you’re given is more or less the way you can achieve greatness.

Until next time!
