My 7 principles on decision making

I have a personal guideline on decision making. Obviously, it is not in the form of a list, but in a form of principles that I hold intuitively and rationally. 

Those points are important for me when I make a decision. If you find them valuable, feel free to implement them in your life.

• It doesn’t matter whether I like a decision or not. My gut feelings and rationality matters. If they are coinciding, then I feel that it is the right decision.
• Be as honest as possible. Also, be as direct as possible. I think society is brainwashed with the “kindness” virus. I am not saying “be rude”. I am saying that if your honesty is perceived as rudeness, it is not your problem.
• Small decisions matter as they create habits. I visualize myself years later, and aim to fill the steps between with the decisions I make.
• Seek mentors, but make your own decisions. As I repetitively say, do not imitate your mentors. You are not one of them. You can be better than them, but you are not them. Be unique with your decisions.
• If a decision I make should be made easily by an ordinary person, I question myself as to where is the value I added to this decision.
• If you think that your decision is right, give zero value to the ideas of the public, friends and family. I know that it sounds “off”. However, if you are sure about your decision and if you are taking the responsibility, you do not need to explain to anyone.
• Hard decisions, easy life. Easy decisions, hard life.
