Making decisions

We all have to make decisions. Some big, some small. We have to decide whether to get out of bed or sleep another 5 minutes. We have to decide whether to wait another minute or dash across the street. We have to decide if we take a risk and invest in a small Internet startup or put our money on established blue chip firms. We have to decide if someone is the one we want to spend the rest of our lives with.

We all will hesitate once in a while, but at the end of the day, things only move when someone makes a decision, even if the decision is a decision not to do anything. It is indecision that we should fear. If we do not decide, we may end up late for work. If we do not decide, then we may miss the bus. If we do not decide, we may miss the chance to make a killing on the stock market. If we do not decide, we may end up losing our partner for life. There are no right or wrong decisions, only good or bad ones.

So decide. Make a choice. Even if the choice is not to choose. Then live by your decisions. Because you made them, and they were the best decisions you could have made at any given time, with your given knowledge and experience.
