The progress of your life depends on the decisions you make. The reality of your
life today is based on the decision you made yesterday. Many are afraid to make
decisions because they are afraid they will make the wrong ones. What they are
yet to understand is that INDECISION IS A DECISION.
Someone once said, “It is better to make a wrong decision than not make any
decision at all.” Therefore learn to overcome indecision. When we make
decisions, our decisions also turn around to make us and invariably determine the
course and progress of our lives.
Here are 6 ways to overcome indecision and make progress in your life;
Define Your Fears: Most times what keeps us from making the decision we need
to make is the fear of what would be the outcome. However if we can identify
what it is that we are actually afraid of;Listing possible solutions or options, it will
be easy to come up with a way of dealing with our fears. It is less difficult to
make decisions when you know that some of your fears can be handled.
Do Away With What People Will Think: often times we allow the idea of “what
people will think” to get in the way of the decisions we are about to make. This is
likely going to blind us to the true reality of the situation. You will find yourself
not doing many things you ought or need to do if you are such person that
constantly worried about what others will think. What you need to know is that at
the end of the day you are the only person who will live with the decision or the
indecision you’ve made ‘cos it’s your life. Take full responsibility for it! The desire
to impress or satisfy others leaves you either indecisive or constantly making the
wrong decisions. When we are less worried about what others will think, it is
easier to make decisions.
Don’t Dwell On It For So Long: Indecision can also come from mulling or thinking
over the matter or issue more than necessary. The truth is that every decision we
about to make always appear to have two sides to it. One side may appeal to you
while the other side will not. The ability to analyze issues and seek more
information is needed to make good decisions but too many analysis and
information can get you overwhelmed and makes it more difficult to make the
needed decision. Just get to know the basic pros and cons of the decision you
are about to take. If the pros exceed the cons, you have your answer already.
Learn To Be More Confident: People that lack self-confidence hardly make their
own decisions because they belief that their decisions are never going to be good
enough. They never trusted their abilities. This is a sign of a poor self-esteem or
self-worth. You can boost the confidence and independence to make your own
decision by building your self-esteem
Trust Your Intuition: This is a feeling that guides you to act in a certain way
without fully understanding why. It is that feeling you have about something that
turns out to be true. Someone explained it as a “rational and direct outgrowth of
experience.” such experience allows you to recognize what’s happening and/or
what to do. Intuition helps us make decisions even when we don’t have all the
facts. The truth is we usually don’t have all the facts. However this does not
mean that you should make blind decisions. But rather that you should examine
the facts and options you have. And if some how your heart connects to one of
the options, have the boldness to go for it.
Understand That No One Will Always Get It Right: Never forget that you are
human. That means no matter the facts you have, you may not always get it
right. However, don’t forget that every decision you made and it later turned out
to be wrong will teach you something to help you make a better decision next
time. Every success story has a mixture of both right and wrong decisions. So let
go of perfection and write your own success story.
