In our efforts to increase productivity and hence be more successful, there is one thing that remains relatively ignored: the quality of our decision-making. Upgrading your decisions implies a shift of focus from simply choosing good over bad, to a focus on choices that lie between good, better, and best. This blog will help you to explore the power of upgrading your decisions and share with you ways to make such decisions day in and out for a better tomorrow in business and life. The Power of Up-Grading Your Decisions Upgrading your decisions at the core is a mindset shift. Instead of wasting your time weighing good versus bad choices, you eliminate bad choices up front. That now leaves you focusing on only good, better, and best choices. The logic here is pretty simple: by refusing to entertain decisions that could lead to undesirable outcomes, you’re automatically raising the quality of your decision-making process. Imagine you are having to make a decision regarding a possible business partnership. A passive approach would be to think about the pros versus the cons of the relationship with that partner. On the other hand, an upgraded version of the approach would be to remove the partnership if it even gives a hint of bad consequences, and instead, choose between the best possible partnerships which sets you on a long-term positive trajectory. One challenge faced when upgrading your decisions is the need to exercise patience. Most decisions that need to be made in business and life come with some sense of urgency. The pressure to act puts you at risk of making decisions that go against your best interests in a move to hastily comply with action. Upgrading your decisions calls for discipline in delaying action at times, maybe up to the point where you will have the time to deliberate on the evidence available concerning all options. Scenario to Consider: Say you’re thinking of coming out with a new product. Instead of hurtling to market because competitors are, you stand back. You’ve considered immediate financial gains not only for today but also for the mark it will make in the long term on your brand, customer trust, and market position. With patience, you can realize that a different time or way to launch may be more effective at securing success while minimizing risks. Evaluate Decisions Across Multiple Factors Another key aspect of the process around upgrading your decisions is making decisions based on multiple factors before a decision is made. Most decisions are made based on a singular factor—for example, potential profit—without considering customer satisfaction, long-term brand impact, or sustainability of the decision. Holistic Decision-Making: For instance, take the question of whether or not to promote a certain product. Do not just look at the possible revenue accruable from such promotion. Check how it aligns with your brand values, strengthens the relationship with partners, and enhances the trust of your customer base. That way, you will pick the alternative that comes with maximum holistic benefits. Implementing the Pareto Principle into Your Decisions The Pareto Principle, more popularly known as the 80/20 rule, is a great way to boost your decision-making. This principle basically states that 20% of your decisions have the potential to yield you 80% of your results. If you really focus on these few high-impact decisions, then productivity and efficiency will be maximized. Maximize Impact: If you are running a team and have to make a call on the resource allocation plan for your project, instead of reaching an equilibrium in the distribution of resources across all tasks, you tease out important tasks that will drive the most progress toward realization of your goal. You achieve better results with less effort by putting resources into high-impact areas. Take into account the Consequences of the Future Every choice you make can potentially reciprocate over time, and if upgrading your choices you will need to become future-oriented. Essentially, what today’s decisions will mean to the business or life over the long term will need to be taken into account. Will this decision move me closer towards the achievement of my long-term vision? Does it better position me for future opportunities? Look Forward: Suppose somebody offers you a lucrative business deal that will give you instant money. However, to strike the deal, you will have to compromise on some of the real values of your business. You may feel tempted by the short-term money you are about to receive, but thinking in the long run you may decline the deal to safeguard the image of your brand and concerned about breaking the trust of the customers whom you have established with honesty and integrity. Conclusion: The Path to Better Decision-Making Upgrading your decisions is the critical factor in this outer game of productivity and success. Making decisions that eliminate bad decisions, remembering to be patient, taking into consideration a number of factors, using the Pareto Rule, and thinking through the future consequences—these in some way enable you to make decisions that will almost always result in the best outcome. The time to act is now. Now, look at the decisions that confront you today, business or personal, and apply these principles to each. Start with weeding out those options that might not provide you with your best outcome and limit the hole between the good, the better, and the best. Because of making better decisions, you will find yourself treading a more specific way to success, winning the outer game.

Out of the world’s population, thirty-one percent are Christians, twenty-three percent are Muslims, sixteen percent are atheists and secular, fifteen percent are Hindus, seven percent follow Buddhism, and about six percent follow folk religions. The rest of the religions fall under one percent. Jainism is not even mentioned. This Jainism, which falls under one percent, yet has an influence all over the world. Many top universities teach Jainism. There are numerous world universities where Jainism is taught, and where monks and nuns practice internships, perform rituals, and are given certificates and degrees. Why is there such a craze for Jainism around the world? During this pandemic, everyone realized how important Jainism is. The principles of this 2,500-year-old religion are still relevant and invaluable today. When George Bernard Shaw was asked about Jainism by Gandhi’s grandson, Ishaan Gandhi, he gave a beautiful reply. To emphasize the importance of Jainism, he said, “In my next birth, I want to be born in Jainism. That is my wish.” From great personalities and scientists to small children, everyone is eager to know what Jainism is. So today, I bring you the answer: What is Jainism? What is Dharma? When we say the word religion, we immediately think of religious places, religious attire, religious gods (idols), religious festivals, or religious practices like prayer, charity, penance, and good deeds. But is that truly religion? No, these are symbols of religion. To understand what religion is, let me give you a small example. A Chinese man came to India with his wife and child. Upon arriving, his luggage was stolen. While searching for his luggage, his wife and child got lost. Now, he had no luggage, no money, no mobile, no wife, and no child. He was devastated. When he went to the police station to file a complaint, even then, he got no help. Despite the police’s efforts, they couldn’t find his luggage, wife, or child. This Chinese man was an atheist; he didn’t know what religion was. A policeman told him to take the name of God and perform some religious act. He didn’t understand what religion or God was. He asked the policeman what to do, and he was told to go to a temple and take the name of God. He did so but didn’t find any clue in the temple, church, or mosque. He went to all the religious places but found nothing. Frustrated, he returned to the police station, saying, “You said I would find them, but God doesn’t speak or help.” A kind-hearted person passing by suggested he meet a spiritual master (Sadguru). He narrated his whole story to the Sadguru and asked how he could find his wife, child, and luggage. The Sadguru replied, “Religion is not for finding your wife, child, or luggage. Religion is to make you understand the truth. If you do good, you will receive good; if you do bad, you will receive bad. You must have done something wrong in a past life or this life for your wife, child, and luggage to be lost.” Realizing his mistakes, he asked for forgiveness and decided to do good deeds. He went home and freed all the people he had exploited in his business. After doing so, he found that a kind person had brought his wife and child back home. Embracing his family, he understood that doing good brings good results. Our Actions, Thoughts, and True Religion: A Jain Perspective The actions we perform are deeds, our noble feelings are goodwill, and our good thoughts are righteous thinking. The inner movement within us is virtuous progress. So, what is religion? The qualities we adopt and the virtues we embody constitute religion. Religion is not about escaping difficulties, removing troubles, or fulfilling desires. Even during this pandemic, the economic and social losses you endure will not be mitigated by religion. Religion will teach you that good deeds yield good results and bad deeds yield bad results. Embracing virtues like non-violence, forgiveness, sweetness, simplicity, and humility is religion. You might think this is shown in all religions, so why Jainism? The common word in all these virtues is ‘Sat,’ meaning truth. Jainism translates to the religion of truth. One who conquers attachment and aversion is a Jina. A Jina has annihilated all inner sorrows, desires, and worldly attachments and thus, speaks only the truth, making Jainism the religion of truth. In other religions, worldly rituals are emphasized, such as getting married in a church, mosque, or gurdwara. However, Jainism does not prescribe rituals for marriage, birth, or death. Other religions have limitations bound to the body, but Jainism talks beyond the body, focusing on the soul. This is why Jainism is the religion of truth. Other religions may illustrate worldly aspects, but Jainism is about realizing the soul. Science does not acknowledge the soul, leading to unanswered questions. Jainism, beginning and ending with the soul, holds all solutions, making it the religion of truth. Religion is not confined to being born as a Jain. Even an elephant with a thought that no one should suffer is a Jain. This thought, held to the end of its life, makes it a Jain, leading to Moksha. This is why Jainism is not exclusive but a universal truth. A hermit practicing austerity for sixty thousand years was offered the position of Indra in Devalok by gods, but he thought, “The soul itself is the supreme self; it needs no Indra position.” Thus, he declined and attained Moksha. This demonstrates that Jainism does not require a Guru or religious knowledge to attain liberation. The conclusion is: 1. Embracing virtues is Dharma. 2. Embracing the true qualities of the soul is Jainism.
