On Fighting Indecision

I used to be indecisive; now I'm not sure.
Indecisiveness is one of my weaknesses that I really hope to overcome. I always have a difficulty making up my mind, particularly when it comes to making choices or when choosing from a number of options. Maybe it's because I tend to be impulsive at times. And in order for me to minimize the impulsiveness, I see to it that I don't immediately make decisions, especially when it comes to money matters and other serious issues. But most of the time, I see myself trapped between the given options that I worry about the consequences.

There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision

I have learned to overcome an indecision issue that troubled me these past few days. And it feels so great to know that you have conquered something that's not actually a big deal as long as you clear your mind and focus on dealing with the dilemma. It's really wise to take things slowly, one step at a time. There's no point worrying about everything when you could not even do something about a few, small problems.

I realized that indecision often takes place if you don't actually know what you want -- if you don't know what you want to happen, what you want to achieve, where you want to go, or who you want to be with. If you don't know where to start or how to get things started, then chances are, you are not going to get anywhere and be able to do whatever that needs to be done. It's also a matter of priorities. 

You need to define your goals and objectives. You have to assess your capacity; figure out your limits, but be open to all the possibilities so that you can get over your boundaries. You need to determine and set your priorities. From there, you can effectively decide what you need to accomplish first. You can then make a more appropriate and rewarding decision.

It is human nature to stand in the middle of a thing.
