The Only Bad Decision

Have you ever driven home, only to arrive and realise that you don’t recall anything about the journey?
It’s because our lives are filled with routines that we can accomplish as if we’re on autopilot.
Only when we have to make decisions do we really wake out of this stupor.
Unfortunately though, making decisions is much more challenging than simply going with the flow.
In 1973 Walter Kaufmann, professor at Princeton University, identified a condition known as decidophobia – the fear of making decisions.
He recognised the fact that, although decisions usually lie at the heart of whatever makes us successful, they can also be difficult, perplexing and nerve-wracking.
Our fear isn’t so much about making a decision as it is about making the wrong one.
The way I see it, the only truly bad decision is no decision at all.
As long as you’re moving forward, you can figure out changes to your plan along the way.
The pressure’s on so be sure to make a decision and get yourself up and running.
As Eleanor Roosevelt said, "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face."
