Decision making can be regarded as cognitive process resulting in the selection of a belief or a course of action among several alternative possibilities. Every decision making process produces a final choice that may or may not prompt action. Hence not to take a decision is also a decision and can be considered as a part and process of decision making.
"The Wind of Change is blowing through this continent, whether we like it or not, this growth of national consciousness is a political fact", this is a famous speech by the British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan who spoke to the Parliament of South Africa on Feb.3, 1960.
The Winds of Change also means prosperity is around the corner and only a decision to accept needs to be taken.
Why is a Change needed?
What influences a Change?
The answers to these questions would be answered in the story of the eagle.
The Eagle can live up to 70 years.
But to reach this age the eagle must make a hard a decision.
In it's 40th Year its long and flexible talons can no longer grab its prey which serves as food.
Its long and sharp beak becomes bent.
The thick and heavy feathers stick to it's chest and makes it difficult to fly.
Then, the Eagle is left with only two options:
DIE or go through the painful process of CHANGE.
The process requires that the Eagle fly to a mountain top and sit on it's nest.
Then the Eagle knocks it's beak against a rock until it plucks it out.
Then the Eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back and then it will pluck out it's talons.
When it's new talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking it's age old feathers.
CHANGE that is worth sustaining the pain...
And after this..........
The Eagle takes its famous flight of rebirth and lives for 30 more years!!!!!!!
So now why is Change needed?
The simple answer is Survive and Live!!!
We human beings too have to start the CHANGE process.
Unlike the Eagle we also have to pluck our unpleasant memories, negative habits and fixed mindsets.
Only freed from our past burdens, can we take the advantage of the present.
In order to take a new journey ahead in the future, let go your negative old haunting beliefs, open-up your fixed mindset and let yourself fly again like an EAGLE!!!!
