2021-10-17 Making the Right Decisions

We often struggle to make the right decision. Be it choosing what to do after finishing school or making a career jump to earn more money and learning new skills. We are plagued with inner conflicts and uncertainties and often don’t even know their origin. And that is because we rarely know ourselves.

I do not believe in taking the right decision. I take a decision and make it right.
— Muhammad Ali Jinnah

We are shaped by the influence of the people in our near vicinity. These can be family members, close friends, or authority figures in our lives. Undoubtedly the most dominant impact on us has our parents — for good or for worse. With most of my friends and colleagues, I have observed a trend that originates from the relationship with their parents.
