What is the value of making correct decisions?
Decision making is a skill, and making decisions that are correct for you is an essential skill. Whether the decision pertains to your personal, relationship, professional, or even lifestyle and health-related matters, each decision is a step to deeper alignment with your integrity, or not.
Decision making can be broken down into several steps, mainly: identifying the goal, gathering data and information about the goal, contemplating the consequences of different alternatives, make the decision, and finally look back to weigh and evaluate.
Making decisions that are aligned with your true self is one thing; however, to make decisions based on your conditioning can take you on a whole different path.
Throughout my life, I’ve struggled with making decisions, not because I did not know how - it was because once I made a decision, I often found myself question if I made the right one, I had too many voices around me that encouraged one decision over another; parents, siblings, friends, community, school, culture, politics.
Mind you, it was not that anyone was directly interfering with what I was going to do next, it was not as if my friend would tell me “do not wear that, it doesn’t suit you,” or my culture would embody as a person to tell me I need to be this or that. Through years of conditioning (call it growing up normal), the dictates of my environment - including the media - were internalized, posing as “me”, and informing my decision-making.
And here was the catch, I often felt I did the “right” thing when compared against “my beliefs and values", but inside my heart I lived in pain, struggling to make sense of why I felt this way when I did the “right” thing and was a “good” person, and others, or specific groups, “approved” of my decisions, while others condemned me for choosing one alternative over the other.
When I followed what was “right” from a standpoint of what I later understood to be the “voices of conditioning”, I felt contracted, bitter, and dry … even when it meant more popularity or even higher salary - the money I made doing what was the “right” job for me was spent on activities that were meant to reduce my misery, but that is a story for another post.
I pushed those “negative” feelings as far as I could within me, slapped a smile over my face, and performed a living.
Sometimes I would choose “my heart’s desire” and find that my life expanded in ways that were exciting, supported my personal growth. But even then, those internalized voices (noises?) would object and guilt-trip me into abdication - and they manifested as people who share the same view!
Life was an internal mess!
So when talking about the value of making correct decisions, we need to differentiate between the true self and the programmed, socially-engineered self that encourages self-delusion and repression.
And here where the Human Design System comes.
It gives you a map for decision-making that is personal to you, it shows you the way to make correct decisions every time you take a turn, how to access your decision-making genius, and what traps to look out for and how to use them to your advantage when you need to.
But the Human Design System is not meant to be obeyed, it is made to be experimented with.
So what is the value of making correct decisions?
Correct decisions help you re-genius yourself and discover your genius. They help you live an aligned life - cliche as it has come to sound like - Body, Heart, Soul, Mind, inside and outside.
For me, and after years of studying and applying the healing practices, and experimenting with my Human Design I can safely say: it works.
Transformation, understanding the influence of varying conditioning factors, navigating them, asserting my true nature, living a life that I do not tolerate but actually love are outcomes of correct decision making.
