On Being Decisive
A few months ago, during a conversation about my business, the person I was speaking with commented on the fact that I was receiving a lot of coaching. I’ve been working one-on-one with a business coach for two years, in a law of attraction group for several months, and have taken advantage of a few free coaching sessions.
Recently as I pondered the future direction of my business, I wondered if signing up with a VA coach would be a good investment. As I struggled with that and other pending decisions, it finally dawned on me that I don’t need more coaching; what I need is to learn to be confident enough to make decisions and carry them out. Although there is no harm in seeking advice from experts, ultimately I know what is best for my business and my clients. With that realization, I have been able to move forward with three issues that were keeping me awake at night.
So, for my own benefit and that of any readers who also struggle with decision-making, I am posting the following quotations:
If you put off everything ’till you’re sure of it, you’ll get nothing done.
Norman Vincent Peale
In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing,
the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
Theodore Roosevelt
When you cannot make up your mind which of two evenly balanced
courses of action you should take - choose the bolder.
William Joseph Slim
The man who insists upon seeing with perfect clearness before he decides, never decides.
Henri-Frederic Amiel
A peacefulness follows any decision, even the wrong one.
Rita Mae Brown
Although every man believes that his decisions and resolutions involve the most
multifarious factors, in reality they are mere oscillation between flight and longing.
Herman Broch
What decisions are keeping you awake at night? What is the worst that could happen if you made the wrong decision?
