Most Important Decisions I’ve Made (That Didn’t Involve Ordering Extra Cheese)
Some decisions change your career.
Some change your mindset.
And some just save you from awkward WhatsApp groups.
Here are 3 decisions that helped me learn, grow, and survive adulthood without yelling into a pillow every night.
1. Deciding to Accept Mistakes (Yes, Mine Too… Sadly)
There was a time when I believed mistakes were the enemy.
Like a villain in a 90s Bollywood movie—dramatic, avoidable, and best denied till the very end.
But life kept throwing people at me who:
- Forgot deadlines
- Missed calls
- Sent “Reply All” by accident
- And sometimes… were me
So I decided: If you can’t beat the mistakes, join them.
Now I just admit it.
Dropped the ball? “Yep, my bad.”
Sent the wrong file? “Oops. That was my creativity peaking.”
Burnt the food? “Charcoal detox is trending anyway.”
Bonus:
Accepting mistakes removes the stress of “What if they find out?”
And gives the other person strange joy in knowing you’re also human.
Moral? Confess fast. Heal faster. And move on before the group chat explodes.
2. Deciding It’s Okay to Not Know Everything
Once upon a time, I thought I could learn everything.
Big mistake.
Huge.
Because here’s the truth:
- There’s a new trend every 3 hours.
- Every 9-year-old on YouTube knows 27 things I don’t.
- And the world has more “how-to” videos than humans.
So instead of pretending to be Google with legs, I now say:
“Sorry, I don’t know. But tell me… I’m listening.”
This one shift?
Game. Changer.
It replaced my ego with curiosity.
Replaced pressure with peace.
And stopped me from nodding at random Excel formulas I didn’t understand.
Not knowing isn’t weakness.
Pretending to know everything? Now that’s comedy.
3. Deciding That Not Everyone Will Understand Me (And That’s Fine, Bro)
This one hit hardest… and latest.
You try your best. You speak your truth.
You even throw in memes for clarity.
And still—some people will hear you and say:
“So you’re saying pineapple DOES belong on pizza?”
At first, I took it personally.
Tried harder. Explained more. Overcommunicated till my voice cracked.
And then I realized:
Understanding is a privilege, not a guarantee.
You can hope for it—but you can’t demand it.
Now I just smile, drop the mic, and move on with my peace.
Because if you understand you, that’s a pretty solid start.
“Decisions That Make You (But Also Break You First)”
They say success is shiny, clean, and sleek,
But real growth comes when you’re at your weak.
Tears, doubts, and chai overdue—
These are the decisions that make you.Not the big ones with the corporate bow,
But the quiet “I won’t overreact now.”
The day you pick peace over point of view—
That’s one of those decisions that make you.When you finally say “Yeah, I messed it up,”
Instead of blaming fate or your coffee cup.
The moment you own the mess you brew—
A classic case of decisions that make you.Choosing to listen when your ego screams,
Sitting with silence instead of wild dreams.
Letting go of needing them to get you—
That’s one of the hardest decisions that make you.When you stop Googling “how to be perfect,”
And start typing “how to grow through wrecked.”
The shift from impressing to being true—
Chef’s kiss to those decisions that make you.Saying “I don’t know” in a room full of pros,
Watching your doubt turn into glow.
Learning never stops, no matter what you do—
Because those are the decisions that make you.Skipping the fight that leads nowhere,
Saving your peace like it’s rare air.
You wanted to win, but you withdrew—
That’s strength. That’s one of the decisions that make you.You cry. You fall. You rise. You crawl.
You laugh mid-burnout, answering one last call.
If chaos builds calm, then that’s your clue—
You’re living through the decisions that make you.You forgive the version of you that didn’t know,
Who said the wrong thing, moved too slow.
Growth isn’t just what you pursue—
It’s made of quiet decisions that make you.So here’s to the ones that felt so small,
But changed your entire internal hall.
They don’t need claps, likes, or review—
They’re simply the decisions that make you.
🎯 Final Thoughts?
These 3 decisions didn’t come with confetti.
No big signs. No TED Talk moments.
Just quiet clarity and a lot of “Okay, I need to chill” realizations.
- I accept I mess up.
- I accept I don’t know it all.
- And I accept that not everyone will vibe with my frequency.
But the day I accepted all that?
Was the day I grew faster than my Instagram algorithm.
Yours in progress, punchlines, and painfully honest self-awareness,
