Not Making a Decision is Still a Decision

Not making a decision or being indecisive is a decision in itself.  In life, you find yourself both making and avoiding decisions on a daily basis. With every decision you make, you may worry about the results or may worry about what you've done wrong or how it could’ve unfolded better for you.  Now, I understand that hindsight is 20/20 and there’s no going back in time, but you have to recognize that mistakes are acceptable casualties of life and play a part in how you see the bigger picture. Therefore, when you fail to make decisions you find yourself making a decision anyway, usually with the remnants of what may have been a superior opportunity. It’s better to decide, move forward, and realize that you were wrong, than it is to avoid making decision and stand still. By deciding, you’ve created the opportunity to test an idea, gain a new perspective on it, and possibly learn how to do it better next time. Ultimately, decisions are what shape you. Decisions are what help you build your knowledge and experience, while giving you the power and courage to confidently make them on your own. Regardless of the decision in front of you, make a choice and stick with it. It may be the wrong one, it may be the right one, but at the end of the day, you will learn from both about how to proceed the next time you're faced with a similar decision in your life.  You have to remember the only way to ensure you won’t move forward is to not decide at all. So,  the worst thing that you can do is be undecided.
