Ten Commandments for Winning Decisions-T.D. Jakes in "Maximize the Moment"

This morning during my reading I came across this powerful list so I decided to share it.

1. Control Impulsiveness. Never make a permanent decision about a temporary decision.
2. Be aware of blinds spots. Make sure that your emotions aren't driving your decisions towards destruction.
3. Delegate with confidence. Surround yourself with people who are wise and competent. Empower them to perform and do not become intimidated by their expertise.
4. Consider all the options and accept responsibility for your final decision. Stop, look, and listen for wise counsel but always sift it through your own heart.
5. Never go to war where there are no spoils. Choose your battles wisely ad make sure what you fight for is worth the price you pay.
6. Be accurately informed. Make sure that you have all available facts before you decide anything. Conjecture will inevitably led to crisis.
7. Contemplate the consequences. Consider all options and their possible results before acting on any of them.
8. Take calculated risks. Do not allow your expectations to exceed the practical potentials and realities of your resources. Hope for the best possible outcome or solution but be prepared for a loss.
9. Be cost effective with time. If the return is not greater than the investment, then the endeavor is not worth your time.
10. Survive in order to thrive. Allow yourself a 10 percents ration to be wrong, a 50 percent likelihood of betrayal, and 100 percent commitment to survive it all.

Wishing you the best!
