A simple word, powerful ramifications. Most of us are not that good at making small decisions, much less the ones that change the course of our lives. We hedge, obfuscate, avoid and pass the buck.
We do whatever we can to not have to decide. The problem with this is that if we don’t make the decision, the decision is usually made for us – without any of our input, and (most times) we regret it for a long time to come.
To decide is one of the most powerful things we can do. Power Players know this and no matter how hard or heartbreaking or unpopular the decision might be, they make a solid, firm decision.
They also know that it is better to make a decision that may not end up being the right decision than sit on the fence and not make one at all. Be powerful and decide.
