About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Prompt: Decisions
What is your approach to decision making? Do you decide easily or do you take too long a time? Do you also believe some people can or do make snap decisions?


------------

My approach to deciding on something has to do with what the item, action, or idea is that I have to decide upon. I mean I don't spend an hour thinking about deciding whether I should sweep the floor or not. I just do it if the floor looks dirty.

Surely, there are other more important things that need much more attention, knowledge, and TLC. With those I may take some time on how to go about them, but in general, I don't spend too much time thinking whether I should do something or not. As to snap decisions, I might have made a few over the years, and that is true. On the other hand, I dislike indecisiveness a lot more than I dislike snap decisions.

All this may be because, I think, any good decision making is not about always being right, but it is about being intentional, adaptable, and thoughtful. It is a good idea to consider the short and long-term effects of any decision. This is because, if pros and cons are not weighed properly, a short-term gain may mean a long-term regret.

For that and many other reasons, a good decision-making involves what I want to achieve; in other words, a well-defined goal on which I have weighed all the pros and cons. Then, being informed about the subject and having all or almost all the relevant facts should also be in the picture.

On the other hand, I've made some snap decisions that ended up with great success, but also, there are those on which I spent much more thought and effort and they didn't end up that well. After all, it is life, and we all get served with our share of curve-balls.
