A requirement for reaching a desired outcome in making well-balanced decisions uncluttered by personal doubts, uncertainty and confusion is clear and focused thought based on sufficient facts or information.
In today's business and social environment, it seems that the pressures being placed on individuals for making quick and effective decisions are greater now than at any other known period.
In any decision making process an individual is called upon to the best of their ability to offer sound judgement.
It is assumed that the final decision has taken into account all considerations so as to produce the most balanced and ideal solution.
But what if the decision was based on clouded judgement, and then what would the implications of that 'clouded' decision be on family, friends or work colleagues? A key element in clear decision-making is for the decision maker to be relaxed in their attitude.
A calm and relaxed mind shall be better able to think logically, with greater clarity and purpose.
For those placed in positions where correct assessments and decisions are constantly sought how is it possible to have clarity of thought? Many factors can contribute.
Give the mind regular rest away from the daily grind of its decision-making processes when they are not needed, freedom to explore something new and to freshen up, time for the mind to witness new surroundings those that are inspiring, creative, stimulating, peaceful, relaxing or beautiful, or time to hear uplifting sounds such as nature's natural chorus or the sound of inspiring music or time to feel the flush of fresh energy surcharging the whole body through the practice of dynamic physical exercise.
All of these will help, but the one proven process that will continually enable the mind to remain calm, alert and focused is meditation.
Meditation brings pure stillness to the often doubtful, confused or distracted mind.
The mind's stillness comes from the spiritual heart for it is the spiritual heart's virtues of truth, honesty, concern, determination and patience that transform the binding limitations of the mind's negativity, doubt, hesitation and fear.
The gradual process of this transformation sees the mind now functioning with far greater conviction, clarity, focus, spontaneity and confidence.
Sri Chinmoy the meditation teacher says of meditation (1) "If we know how to meditate for five minutes early in the morning before the day dawns, before the hustle and bustle of life begins, then we bring a world of serenity, peace and clarity into the mind.
Each individual meditator has the potentiality, the capacity to meditate powerfully.
Some may not know how to meditate immediately.
It may take a few days or a few weeks or a few months.
But no individual will forever remain acknowledgeable in the art of meditation.
The art of meditation is something inherent in each individual".
