Today's Tonic: The decision to stay still
“Indecision & procrastination are twin brothers. Where one is found the other will be found also.” – Napoleon Hill
When we fail to make a decision, we tell ourselves we’re just waiting to figure out the best way forward.
But life doesn’t work like that.
If you can’t decide where to go, you’re deciding to stay still.
Decision-making is like a muscle: the more you work kt it the stronger it becomes.
It’s OK to be wrong and make mistakes.
In fact, you have to get it wrong and make mistakes in order to learn.
What would you rather?
Spend the next 12 months stuck at the same crossroads?
Or make a couple mistakes and in 12 months have learned enough to be a good decision-maker.
