We can make quick, good decisions when we learn from experience, i.e it is based on wisdom. We learn when we're willing to see from different perspectives. When our mind is peaceful, we're able to see the various perspectives and options. With peace, there's clarity of mind. We also need patience and it has nothing to do with being slow or taking a long time. Real patience is achieving that point of inner stillness and seeing the whole picture. It could take only a moment but you have to give that time to yourself. It means working with time and others.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
There is always an expectation of getting respect from those around. The one who is totally dependent on others for their own sense of well-being tends to react to situations, even if they are very insignificant ones. On the other hand, the one who is able to give respect to the self gives respect to others too and so gets respect himself. When we are able to see our own specialties we are able to have respect for ourselves. Then we are not dependent on external sources for our inner state of mind. We remain free from all external influences, and are able to become a source of influence for those around us. We constantly enrich our own internal state with each thing that happens.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
The key factors which interfere with right/accurate decision-making are being authoritarian, self-righteous, trying to please others. We should be sincere, do with good intentions and everything will turn out right. People are willing to forgive if you made a mistake but your intentions were good. We need to be peaceful and patient with the mind, not push it and rush it. That does not mean we are slow in making decisions. We can be peaceful and patient and still make quick, good decisions.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
