Don’t Let Indecision Kill Your Dreams
That big, scary decision you’re avoiding? It’s not going to make itself, and the wrong choice by default is often worse than a thoughtful ‘no’.
We’re afraid of making the wrong call, so we freeze, which stifles growth, opportunity, and sanity.
- Perfectionism is the enemy: “Good enough” now beats “perfect” too late to matter.
- Information is good, OVER-research is bad: Endless info gathering is just disguised procrastination.
- Fear of missing out (FOMO) is real: But the cost of inaction is usually higher long-term.
- Intuition + data = powerful combo: Don’t ignore gut feeling, but back it up with some hard facts too.
- Reversible vs. irreversible: Most decisions aren’t life-or-death, lower stakes = less self-inflicted pressure.
- Small wins build confidence: Start by tackling bite-sized decisions quickly to build the decision-making ‘muscle’.
What’s one small decision you’ve been putting off? What’s the worst that could happen?
Force yourself to make a quick decision on THAT thing today. Even flipping a coin is better than the limbo.
