Choosing between whats important versus what you like to do?

Many a times, we have this confusion where we need to choose between two things. Out of those, one is what one likes to do, and the other one needs to do. The choice we make each time sometimes requires lot of thought and one goes through lot of confusion, because there is no sure shot way of making a choice between these two.

One cannot keep their legs in two boats and travel for long. The ride has to be comfortable for a longer journey.

Many a times we make decisions for satisfying others. Everytime we cannot think of satisfying all. The priorities and preferences plays a better role in decisions better. We need to choose in life to make ourselves happy first than the others. There are times when we get happy by fulfilling others wishes too. But one needs to keep a check on self from letting it becoming a habit. Here are some do-s and don't-s for choosing effectively in life.

1. Never think too much. If you feel you are thinking too much.
   
• See if the decision is to be takes by you solely or if somebody could be asked for help.
• Try to talk it out with somebody or with yourself.
• Talking helps (when tensed) in making a decision.
2. Calculate the pros and cons of each decision. What worse can happen in your life. Whichever (worse) results are greater choose it.
3. Make a decision and stick to it and stop thinking about it.
4. Don't repent for having made the decision.
