Are You Indecisive? You Need to Decide

The funny thing about choices is that they have to be made. I once heard that if you don't make a decision then the decision will "make" you. This means that either you get involved in making decisions for yourself or you will consequently experience the outcome of whatever might happen. Something will happen.

We should all be please that we live in a day and time where options are in abundance for just about anything you can think of. With so many choices, most of us don't know which to choose or don't trust our choice once it has been made.

Choices mean everything. There is a reason why most people decide to follow a well-paying job rather than a childhood dream. They are choosing between security and insecurity. This does not necessarily mean that their decision is good. It means that they feel more secure if the ABC Company cuts them a check rather than hoping that this "dream" becomes a secure reality. Someone else may choose to follow a dream and their reasoning for choosing may be that they are deciding between doing their own thing and having a "boss". In this case, money is not an issue in their decision.

With every title that you hold, there are decisions to be made. As a mother, you are making choices for you and your child. As a wife or husband you are making decisions that will ultimately affect your partner. Also as an employer, supervisor or manager, you are getting paid to decide so coming up with "something" is better than nothing. Many companies suffer because no one is taking responsibility therefore no decision is being made. Your responsibilities in life require you to decide what, how, when, who, what, where.

Avoiding making choices is a deeper issue. You can't practice not making a decision just because you don't know what to decide. With no decisions being made, nothing is getting done. Excuses are the biggest reasons why we can't decide on something. And although excuses are lightweight sentences to formulate, they have heavy consequences. I have about a million of them. I can pull a great excuse out of my hat that can fit any situation. However it is only hurting me and people who depend on me to make a move.
