How To Make Better Decisions

Dogs are cute, right?

 

I love a cute chubby dog who I can just snuggle up with (don’t judge).

 

But why aren’t they running the world? Why are they slaves to humans?

 

Because dogs do not have this superpower which humans do:

 

When a dog enters a room, he knows that he is in the room, but he doesn’t know that he knows that he is in the room – the dog cannot think about his thinking – that’s where humans stand out.

 

We can take a step back and analyse our thought process and why we are thinking about what we’re thinking; this allows us to think in ways that other creatures simply can’t, which is why we are the most dominant forces in nature.

 

However, a lot of us do not utilise these amazing capabilities enough; if you feel angry at someone, do you let that anger control you, or do you think about why you’re angry, why you’re feeling the emotions you feel, and how you can utilise this situation to take a rational and sound decision which will help develop your emotional state?

 

I can safely say that for me I definitely did not use this power for years; I was too overconsumed with myself and never took a step back to think about my thoughts and actions in life.

 

In recent months I have made the effort to just take a step back a bit more to give myself the chance to analyse my decision making and change it for the better, in order to shape my mind into developing myself into the man I want to be. It is a slow process and I have a long way to go, however I know I’m on the right track because I have got to a thought process where I am starting, to be honest with myself, and am actively trying to improve my emotional state.

 

Are you using your superpower?
