Once You Make The Decision...

After 20 years of research, Napoleon Hill concluded that the most critical factor separating those who were successful from those who weren't was their ability to assess the available facts, make a decision and commit to taking action.👊🏽

Those who are proficient at making decisions have a strong self-image, a high degree of self-esteem whereas those that do not generally display a lack of confidence. 

And yet many people I know are unable to make decisions and take action because in their head they're always asking, “But what if this or that happens?” This renders them ineffective and trapped in a state of procrastination. 😟 

Their indecision sets up internal conflicts that can without warning escalate into all-out mental and emotional wars inside their head. Psychiatrists call it ambivalence. Ambivalence is generally defined as the coexistence in one person of diametrically opposed feelings towards the same objective.

It is not a healthy state of mind to be in.

Making decisions changes everything. 😃 

Rather than being trapped in a state of ambivalence, it enables you to move forward. It may turn out that further down the road you come to believe you made the wrong decision but as Richard Branson pointed out: ‘it's almost always better to make a bad decision than no decision at all."

In most given circumstances, you have to accept you do and are never going to have 100% complete information. All you can do is assess the information that is currently available and base your decision upon that. 🤔

If new information comes to light at a later date then you need to decide whether to pivot. But remaining in a state of ambivalence will lead to disintegration, so you must learn to become a good decision-maker.

And as you become better at making decisions, your confidence and self-esteem will improve. 🤗
