One of the most important ingredients on the way to find personal or professional success is preparation. Success doesn't come easy. There are no shortcuts; success requires you to be prepared to sacrifice leisure time, or time spent watching television or going out with your friends at every opportunity. Here is just one quote that expresses what preparation is about, "Our real problem is not our strength today; it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow." by Calvin Coolidge.
The thing is, we all suffer from indecision in our lives at some point and it prevents us from taking action and achieving the real success we deserve.
We really have become a world of decision makers who succeed and indecisive people who fail.
Fact is indecision has a lot to do with Fear. Indecision happens as a result of the us fearing the consequences of our actions.
Fact: Forced action may result in progress but that progress is short-lived. The reason is simply because we never overcame indecision and fear to get there.
"What if it doesn't work out? From then on, I became less indecisive and as an adult...I refuse to let fear cloud my decisions.
Realize that even if you fail after making a decision...IF you did not make a decision and act on it, you would never know what the result woud have been.
No decision means no result...no results mean no success.
The reality is every indecisive moment we spend fearing the "what if" consequences of our actions is a bleeding wound in the story of our lives.
It drains our success potential and slowly but surely Indecision and Fear defeat us.
Bottom Line: Don't fear making a decision, fear NOT making a decision.
- Eleanor Roosevelt
