As human beings,we are gifted with free will—the
ability to think, choose, and act on our own. This gives
us the power to make our own decisions, instead of
being controlled by others or emotions. But with that
power comes responsibility. Every choice has
consequences, not just for ourselves, but for others
too. That’s why we must use our free will wisely—by
thinking carefully and considering how our actions
will affect those around us.
Whether we're awareof it or not, the
decisions we make influence the direction
of our lives. This is why developing strong
decision-making skills is seen as one of the
most important life skills we can have.

WRONG DECISION-MAKING
GOOD DECISION-MAKING
Gooddecision-making skills help us think
clearly, weigh options, and choose actions
that reflect our values. People with this skill
are often more confident, independent, and
better at solving problems.
Wrong decisions can result to regret,
mistakes, and negative outcomes—not
only affecting us personally, but also
impacting those around us.
Developing decision-making skillsis
essential because our choices affect
nearly every part of life. From simple
decisions like what to eat to major ones
like choosing a career, our ability to
decide wisely shapes our success,
happiness, and personal growth.
REMEMBER
25.
Start by beingmore mindful of the decisions
you make each day. For example, instead of
instantly choosing to watch TV after school,
pause and consider whether finishing your
homework first might lead to a better
outcome. By taking time to think before
acting, you start training your brain to make
more thoughtful decisions.
BEING MINDFUL

When facing adecision, list out the
possible choices and consider the pros
and cons of each. Think about how
each option could affect you in the
short and long term.

solely on academics, consider the benefits of both—
joining the club might help you build confidence and make
friends, while focusing on studies could give you more
time to improve your grades. This process helps you
evaluate what matters most and choose more wisely.
