If we look closely everything that we do or intend to do is a decision. Even deciding not to do anything is a decision. And what I have observed is decisions are governed either by determination (I have to do it assertively) or by desperation (I have to do it, there is no other option). Decision by either way is fine as long as you have scored a goal. However, I have observed (even through my personal experience) that desperate decisions are not fruitful in long term and often tend to bring in frustration. The pay-offs of these decisions are short-lived. While determined decisions reap benefits in a slow manner but are permanent.
Decisions taken with desperation as a premise take longer to achieve your ultimate goals. These decisions look good short term and console you with initial offerings.
At times decisions can be both desperate as well as determined but the order has to be set perfectly. For e.g. Gates, Ambani, Einstein, and many others like them had made determined decisions to make it big, achieve something and then they got desperate about those decisions. People usually reverse the order to fight insecurity and ensure stability and in turn sacrifice on the ultimate motive. I wonder when one would confront a sense of accomplishment going this way, till date I haven’t experienced any.
Determined decisions may not get executed immediately but will reward suitably giving you a sense of achievement that won’t perish easily. A little patience is all that you need and surely we can do that than just having a mediocre lifestyle.
