Have you ever had to decide for something in your life and then you have taken the time decide... but when you have actually chosen the one that you think is best for you... you would realize that somehow you might have made the wrong one... how do you deal with such? it can be really frustrating, right? it disheartens you... it actually makes you feel really bad and all. but how do you think you can get over a wrong decision?

i think a wrong decision can be changed which is concerned with the future and it is in your hands to change it. There is no need to cry over the split milk but to try to clean it. i would say that if it was about in the past and you cannot change it then just forget about it because it is not going to do any good to you. Try to focus on the future and do not forget that we are humans and we are bound to make mistakes.. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

By moving forward in life. Accepting what is, and live. If we would worry about all our decisions like that everytime we make one, life would not be life then. It would be wondering if one made the right decision if not what will one do? It would go back and forth. Yes I have made wrong decisions, and learned to live with that. There is nothing one can do after that. We can only hope that we make better decisions from no on. Learn the lesson and move forward in our journey of life.

hi there, thank you so much for your insight and for sharing what you know or what works for you. sometimes life is really as it is and we just have to take whatever life is throwing at us, even with the kind of decisions we make ourselves.

When making decision we should always expect for the worse and not only with the good result. Expecting too much will make us disappointed and make us low. Learn from mistakes and never take the bad result as negative. We can always turn the negative to positive if you know how to handle things. Instead of crying and regretting- stand up and up the pieces and start fresh once again.

Making decisions can be very hard. After all in life there are so many different directions that we can go in. I guess when I have made a wrong decision I do my best to think things through the next time. I try to re evaluate my current situation and see where I need to make adjustments.I hope that you haven't realized that you have made a wrong decision. It can be hard to cope when we have noticed something like this.

hi dominique. that is what we should really do, yes. when we are making wrong decisions, we better learn from them... think things over and over until we are sure that the decision we are making is the best. never make decisions or say things when you are angry, not in the right mind(no focus, or too emotional). sure it will help us cope and enjoy life's benefits more.

Yeah when we don't learn from our mistakes we start to create more and then it can take awhile for us to be able to fix or repair things. We really have to think our decisions over so that we can hope to make a good one.

Hi chiyosan! I must admit that back when I was young, I had my fair share in making bad decisions for myself. Back then I acted on my impulses. But of course, its frustrating to find out that what you think was right is wrong all along. But then as I get older, I realized, hey, its ok to make mistakes. I mean, cliche's as it sounds, but we do get to learn when we make mistakes. In this world, mistakes can either make us or break us. Some become successful learning from their mistakes, while others broke down still deluded with their mistakes. It really depends on how we take life twist and turns. You can either view mistakes as your guide to go to the other direction, or you could just go down with your mistakes making no improvement at all.

hi there lizlee. hello and thank you for your contribution to the discussion. =) you are correct, we have got to face our problems, not to discard our mistakes but we should learn from them. Every turns we take in our lives should be able to get us somewhere... and not let us be stuck right were we started.

I guess it's really hard to make a decision, that's why we should weigh things carefully. However, when we commit mistakes, I guess we'll learn from them. Sometimes, life is like "trial and error." We can't identify what is wrong until we get there. Am I making any sense here? Anyway, if we did something wrong, we don't have any choice but to make it right. Goodluck. Happy myloting.

that is true. the thing is that sometimes we are unable to really identify what was to be the end result of our decisions. all the time, it is really just something that we have to take risks. of course you are making sense, we can't always know for sure if we are to be get what we expect to have.

I don't know if it's considered a bad decision to let my bf go work abroad, but, I think that is the best example that I could think of that has been the hardest decision that I have made so far. I realized after saying yes to him that he could go, I felt really really bad and I even cried a lot when he actually did left. I thought I could handle it but I broke down. I guess I could say that I couldn't take that decision back so I have to force myself to accept it. I have to force myself to accept reality. I don't know what I did to get over it, but it just went away with time. The crying every night for a few months helped me. Now, I am still crying but not because I still feel bad about that decision, but because I miss him. With all these bad decisions we make, I know that there is a reason behind it. It could be to make us stronger and to make us wiser. These events help us grow and learn as an individual and even have more faith to our God for helping us go through with all these.

that is true, sometimes we make decisions, we think it is for the best.. but we would still wonder if it is going to be better if we don't..but then all our life's choices we know that it contributes to the wholeness of our lives. it is a piece of the puzzle that we know is essential that makes our life complete.

I'm an analyzer type of a person. I'm constantly analyzing everything, whch means that this revelation isn't going to come for me all of a sudden, and that would make me get over it easier, if I feel it and know for a longer time. Also, everybody makes wrong decisions in their lives - the most important thing is to admit it, and then move forward and never give up.

hi dorofee, that is right, we admitting that we have made a mistake is a step close to correcting those mistakes and the best one to start going forward. =) it really pays to be this kind of person, patience, and knowing when to not rush into things often saves us a lot of mistakes committed.

What to do with a wrong decision, for me live with that. Everything happens for a reason and if it's wrong then it happened because we need to learn from our mistakes. Be thankful :)

It will take time if this happen to me, having a wrong decision. We can bring it back the things happened. We just need to face and try to resolve it. Good day!
