Habitual Decision Making

Going outside of our habitual way of decision making has a couple of benefits to us.

First off it allows us an opportunity to grow by looking at how others think and make decisions. Although we may always feel right and come to a decision that is successful that does not mean that our decision is the only option. The easiest way to get from point A to point B may be a straight line but it may not be the only way.

Another benefit of breaking habit is the opportunity to see things we may have missed. How many of us drive the same path to work everyday? After so much time of doing this there are things we don't even notice anymore because we just assume they are the same. It is not until we take a different path that we realized things that have changed or see something we didn't see before. The same applies in decision making. Until we look at different ways of making decision there are things we may miss along the way.

We still get a successful result when breaking habits of thinking but no telling what else may happen on the way. They say that stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. If our decision making is not working maybe it is the habits we have developed in our decision making not the decision itself.
