Decisions, Decisions!! What are YOU going to do??
Posted on September 22, 2009 by Tanya Hay, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.
Have you ever thought about something SO much that you managed to confuse yourself? Well - being decisive is KEY to success!! Read on!
Take that new job or stay where you know what’s going on?
Ask her to marry you or keep your current routine?
End a relationship or try a new angle to reignite what was once there?
Are there any of you facing decisions like these today? Facing decisions of all types every single day is a fact of life, so those of us that are not gifted with “decisiveness” as a character trait can sometimes feel like we’re in for one heck of a ride… maybe.
Many people in this world pride themselves on the fact that they are able to make decisions in a heartbeat, always seeming to know what the “right” thing to do is. Others tend to analyze decisions to every degree, calculating the worst thing that might happen if the wrong decision is made, and deciding from there. The thing is, neither way is the best answer, it’s simply somewhere in between…
Being decisive is great, as long as you’re willing to live with the consequences (be they good or bad) of every potentially rash decision made. Being analytical is great, as long as you’re willing to miss out on everything you could have in your life that you missed out on while sitting there thinking everything through!
This may sound like a catch 22, but in reality, it comes down to one simple thing to remember. If you are making a decision, you already likely know the “right” answer. How many times have you tried to justify your way out of something you didn’t want to do, or into something you thought would be fun (but not necessarily the smartest choice)? Trouble making decisions? Looking for answers?
Look back on a decision you’ve made recently. Now think about how you felt when you were making that decision. You knew the answer, didn’t you? Of course our hindsight is 20/20! It is that way to teach us to learn to trust ourselves – because we already know every answer! Each human on the planet is faced with decisions every single day. The way to do the RIGHT thing is simply a matter of being honest with yourself, all the time; never deceiving yourself into believing your own stories. Stay true to yourself, take action and be prepared for the ride of your life! Things that seem difficult lead to greater things than you can imagine…

If there’s no action, you haven’t truly decided.”
-Tony Robbins
