"The man who insists upon seeing with perfect clearness before he decides, never decides."
~Henri Frederic Amiel~
As defined in the dictionary : Indecisiveness is doubt concerning two or more possible alternatives or courses of action.
The most failed attempt in decision making is expecting and looking for our circumstances to be in perfect alignment. Yes, In retrospect, things should be in alignment but they will never be in perfect alignment; so if we base our opportunity to make a sound decision upon that we will never decide. If you are reading this and you realize these are the barriers that are keeping you from taking action; Have no fear, there are ways to "Overcome Indecisiveness"
1. Set Clear But Realistic Goals: A common roadblock that most people stumble upon is not reaching their goals because they are too far fetched. "The American Dream" is to set a goal today and reach it tomorrow; yes there are certain things that can be accomplished in one day but then you have those that take much patience, consistency, and strategic planning. To set the record straight, this is not to say stop having high expectations, by all means continue to set very high goals; my point is to not beat yourself across the head if you do not meet those expectations instantaniously! It is not the "Goal" that would make it far fetched, its the expecting "Overnight" results that would make it far fetched. Give yourself time to reach those goals that may require a little more hard work and dedication. Write down your goals so that what you are expecting is very clear; Research so that you have an idea of what it may take reach it; Move on to your next step.
2. Goal Maintenance & Reconstruction: Just like when we buy a "Brand New" car or a car that is new to us; we make sure everything is functioning right on the inside and looking right on the outside. Once all of that is taking care of we are god to go right? wrong; we still have to get occasional maintenace on the vehicle to make sure it remains in the good consition it was in when we first purchased it.
The same goes for our "Goals", Setting them is the fairly easy part and reaching them can be fairly easy as well; but the difficult part is keeping them active after we have activated them. (E.g) You make a goal to start a business, you start the business, but what then? You have to set a business plan in action, set up marketing campaigns, attract clientele, and othe strategies in building your business.
With that being said, occasionally review goals you have set and reached. The goals you have set, go back and add to them or edit them according to knowlege you have obtained that may not have been present when you originally wrote it. The goals you have already reached, find ways to update them attract more attention to them; After that is complete, move on to your final step.
3. Shift Your Mindset: Happiness is a mindset and not an outside circumstance. Be happy and confident in the decisions that you make; Yes we will make some not so smart decisions, but its a part of the living and learning process. Take what you learn, apply it and watch how the results differ the second time around. Regardless of the circumstances Indecisiveness must be overcome by Action.
