Do you find it difficult to make a decision? Have you ever been faced with a dillema wherein you just can't decide? Lastly, have you ever made a decision that you later on regretted.

Oh yes! Some decisions are just so difficult to make. Do it and you are put in a difficult position. Don't do it and you are put in another difficult position. Those are the worst kind of decisions to have to make! Yes, many times I am faced with dilemmas that I cannot decide. And it is so frustrating at times! Oh yes, there are a few decisions that I made that I regret. But I learn to deal with it and live with it.

I have made so many bad decisions in my life. I also tend not to make a decision and just let life take its turn which is probably a bad thing. cheers!!

It depends on the decisions you need to decide. There are different levels but everyday we all make decisions. What to wear? Where to go? How to get there? What to bring? Which color should be chosen? Reasons? Choices? Come to think of it, every waking ours in our lives we decide. The effects of these decisions may change a life, or may just be futile in the world, but all of us do decide. There are 2 types of decisions however, one is the light decisions where any choice we might make can't really make the world stop nor affect other people. For one thing, deciding what to wear wouldn't really matter to the next person as it matters for you. Unless of course, you decided not to wear anything. On the other hand, there are decisions that could impact a lot of people and not only yourself. Like a boss choosing who amongst the employees he needs to lay-off because they need to be laid off. It's a tough one, and I personally wouldn't want to be put in the position to destroy a future. Anyhow, dilemma, I have my share of those. One dilemma I was trapped in a few weeks ago was what to do about my doubt that my father was cheating. I actually made a topic out of it because I was so afraid to choose a decision. However, the best part of it all, is that prayers do help out with decisions. The Holy Spirit is the best one to decide for us (most of the times specially when faced with tough ones) because decisions becomes flawless and all things end well when properly prayed for. As for regrets. There are always regrets. No matter how you tried so much to make the right decision, there will always be flaws or counter reactions we didn't expect. It's just a matter of learning from our mistakes, and hopefully we won't ever pass making the same mistake again. Happy Mylotting!

Yes, i do have a dillema when im going to make a decision. Not only in my routinity, to do my projects and exams to follow... im easily being distracted with many things fill my mind. When i choose to finish my project, there comes other feeling that exams may be more difficult and i should deal with it first than project. But project, it may takes hours to finish it... and i may not be able to study, or... whatever. I just dont know what should i do after that... And most of the time i also have trouble with double minded during examination. Yes, we always have multiple choice type question, and many times i regret myself why i didnt change my answer or why i did change my answer or... Why i didnt study details about this one.. or why the exam is like this? Or lets say when im going to buy a dress in the mall and yes it has two models with the same color but then i have two choice now... and im getting confused because one is better in design but the other is look expensive, or maybe the other one has nice ribbon style and the other one with tie style but it looks nice also. Yeah...yeah... also when im going to buy shoes and bags... oh my gosh! Its really difficult for me to choose the best among the two that look better than the rest. Hmmm... I know, you are a woman, and you want to choose the best and the most nice stuff... You dont want to spend money to buy both right? Or lets say to buy a new lipstick, hmm... i have trouble with this. so difficult because all the colors are nice and i want to have them all. Yes, i also regret my choice but its not for all the time when i make a choice. Just follow my heart and i will be ok...! Or... maybe follow my wallet!

My husband and I read somewhere that people born under the sign of Cancer are not good decision makers. We laugh about this a lot because we are both Cancerians and we are terrible with decisions; between the two of us it can take hours just for simple choices! (LOL)I was faced with a dilemma when I had my daughter and I took maternity leave from a job I loved for a year. When the year was up I had to decide whether to return to work or stay at home with my baby. After much deliberation I chose the latter and although it was difficult leaving a great job, this was a decision I have never regretted. As far as regretting a past decision; there are a few and the worst one would have to be getting married to my first husband, although I thought I was doing the right thing at the time of course, boy did I live to regret it!

I was faced with a big dilemma when I lost my job, I was seeing my ex partner at the time and I was living in my own home, I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to afford to keep my flat because of losing my job, my partner suggested I moved in and shared the bills but could live rent free! So I said yes, I was stupid and I didn't think it through, so I gave up my flat and moved in with my partner it was the worst mistake I've ever made, if I had had confidence in myself I could have found another job at the time to support the flat. Making decisions is never easy and you have to weigh up the pros and cons, I guess money blinded me and I still kick myself even now, 9 years later for saying yes instead of NO!
