Wrong Decision

If you avoid making decisions because you’re paralyzed by the fear of making an incorrect choice, it will only keep you stuck.  You won’t make any progress or learn.  You’re probably thinking but what if you make the wrong or bad decision and it sets you back.  Well, now you know that’s not the direction to go and it makes your next decision that much easier.  Yet, you would have never known that if you hadn’t made that decision in the first place.

If you’re still struggling to make a decision on something because you’re overthinking, overanalyzing, and just worried about the unknown future outcome then give yourself a deadline.  Set a nonnegotiable deadline for making your decision.  Otherwise, you’ll just continue to dwell on making your decision and nothing will happen.  You have to take action and make decisions in life.  It can be scary at times but you can do this.  Stop waiting, wondering, and wishing for the perfect opportune time and just make the decision to go for it.  Take a risk, step outside your comfort zone, and do something you’ve never done before.  Sometimes it will pay off and sometimes you’ll just learn that wasn’t for you.  Either way, you keep going.  You don’t let making a difficult decision stop you in your tracks and hold you back from going after your goals and dreams in life.
