I have a friend who spends her life not making decisions. Life kind of happens around her. In spite of her.
She thinks a lot. Talks a lot. Waits a lot.
She's very intelligent and analytical. And miserable. And fearful. And frustrated. And unfulfilled.
"But, what if I do this and that happens...or this... or that?" Always just about to change her life. Any moment now. If only she would make a friggin' decision. Any decision. I wanna hit her over the head with my indecision bat. In a loving way.
Every day of our lives we have the opportunity to step out of mediocre and into amazing. If only we have the guts to make decisions. Real decisions.
All successful endeavours come about because someone, somewhere at some point in time, had the guts to decide.
Whether it was popular, convenient, practical, easy or comfortable, they did it. They had an idea, they made a decision, they took action and they created something from nothing. And in doing so, they developed new skills, new strength and new perspective.
We all know what we need to do. But it's uncomfortable, so we avoid it. Building our best life is actually quite simple. But we have a gift for making the simplest things complex. We hate discomfort, so we do everything we can to avoid making those uncomfortable decisions.
Life's uncomfortable. Relationships are uncomfortable. Personal growth is uncomfortable. Decision making is uncomfortable.
Get used to it. You know what you need to do. You've known for a while.
Stop being a big baby. Do it. I dare you.
