A
real decision is measured by the fact that you’ve taken a new action. If there’s no action, you haven’t truly
decided. – Tony
Robbins Quotes on Making Decisions
Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach. – Tony Robbins Quotes on Making Decisions
It is
in your moments of indecision that your dreams are destroyed. – Dr. Marc
Dussault
Indecision
is not part of the simple life and the author recently learned how indecisive
she can be.
As
the author has been cautious with her excursions during this unique time in our
society, she takes the opportunity to visit various locations when she
can. Last weekend, the author planned to
visit Fort Washington National Park, which is a historical site she has seen
many times driving down the George Washington Memorial Parkway. When she researched the national park, she
saw that they had been closed and planned to reopen the first weekend of
August. The author had a hard time
making the decision when she would visit because she had told people she was
going and she wanted to do other things on the weekends in August. For a couple days, she waffled back and forth
on when to visit.
The
risk of a wrong decision is preferable to the terror of indecision. – Maimonides
Finally,
the author made the decision not to go the last official weekend of July and
placed an appointment reminder on her calendar to visit the first weekend of
August. After all of indecisiveness, the
national park was still not open, but she was able to see many of the
sites.
Many times, in life making a decision can be
difficult and reasons for the indecision can range from not trusting oneself to
make the right decision, afraid of making a mistake, not wanting to get blamed
for something, etc. While contemplating
the decision, stress and frustration often set in. It is during those times, to remember a quote
from Benjamin Spock:
Trust yourself, you know more than you
think you do.
ACTION: Practice
being decisive this week to help make life simpler.
