The dichotomy of decisions

You try to take decisions in a manner objective

You try to weigh a situation from different perspectives

You step away and examine a problem holistically

So that you don’t miss the forest for the trees

You do not want to be swayed by emotion

You want to decide with eyes wide open

*

Then there are times you close your eyes

When going with your gut feeling seems wise

When your heart is at odds with your head

You silence the voice of practicality, instead

You go ahead guided by your intuition

You hope you can bring your dreams to fruition

*

Some decisions need reason’s impartial voice

For others, your instincts should let you make a choice

For a decision that impacts others my mind I use

For personal decisions, my heart over my mind I choose…

No matter what you decide, you wonder about

The road not taken, you sometimes doubt

Whether the best decision was taken by you…

Whatever you decided, you would have to follow through
