Are you a matured soul?
When do you call someone a matured soul?
Does maturity come with age or with experience?
People say that our decision making ability reflects our
maturity.
What factors do you take into consideration while making
a decision?
· What makes me happy?
· Who are the actors affected by my decision?
· How do I face the society after taking the call?
In my opinion, if you have to take a call in your life or
if you have to take a decision of your life time, you should think alone
considering the factors mentioned above. 99% of the time, the first question
takes a back seat and the second and third questions take priority in your
decision making.
What will my parents think?
What will my siblings think?
What will my friends think?
How do I face the society?
You get confused thinking much about this and get tempted
to involve your friends, brothers, sisters, parents, etc while making such a
decision. You should definitely take the suggestion but you should define a
clear line between suggesting and intruding. Here, you fail utterly because the
moment you involve another person, most of the time, he/she trespasses the
fence (brain) and interrupts your decision making. Thus, the outcome is not
your decision.
You might rationalize saying that this person knows much
about me, what I like and what I want in my life. That is foolishness. Such
kind of reasoning implies that you have not given a serious thought about
yourself. You are the best person in this world who knows what you like and who
knows what you want. Who is someone else to dictate how you should live? After
all, it is your life… If the decision you have taken is not yours, then how can
you live your life to the fullest?
Think independently and take a decision. If you think
that taking decisions makes you a matured soul, you are wrong. It is the
effects of your decisions on you that make you, a matured individual. If your
decision does not affect you, it is just any other irrelevant incident in your
life. In our day to day life, you have to make many decisions. But a few
decisions affect you a lot. Experiencing these effects makes you a matured
soul. As years pass by, you make many decisions and experience the effects of
these decisions. In this process you get matured with your age through your
experience.
PS:
Dear Friends,
Give a serious thought before you take any decision. Try
your best not to let your parents and loved ones down because of the decision
you take.
