15. NEVER ALLOW PEOPLE MAKE DECISIONS FOR YOU

 

Have you ever wondered why things are the way they are? Why your life looks as if it's not moving forward? It all boils down to the decisions you make.

Most people's life is what it is today because they allow people make decisions for them. Sometimes it's our parents, teachers, friends or neighbours that make decisions for us. It's so wrong. Don't forget that it's your life and not theirs.

What if Michael Jackson's parents had forced him in going for football instead of music or Messi's parents had forced him into playing volleyball instead of football, or Ben Carson's parents forced him into studying engineering instead of medicine. They would have turn out to be a total failure.

Most of us allow other people make vital decisions for us and sometimes it not what we want, it's not our calling but theirs and at the end, we are the ones that get hurt. These persons should stop making decisions for us rather give us advice that will enable us make the right decisions.

Let us not continue in error, rather let us be guided. Remember, the decisions you make today will surely affect your future.

Make the right one.
