Indecision

This four syllable word has cost more people more opportunity than any other one thing. There is another word that has a similar effect and that is procrastination.

There is plenty of evidence to support the fact that these words are really one in the same, we procrastinate because we are in a state of indecision. So what causes us to procrastinate? Well it is something that we have touched on a few times here, FEAR. Now this may sound silly to you. You may want to hold on to your position and say
"Its not fear, its because we are not 100% sure of the outcome of our actions."

Well that in essence is fear. Can you imagine this world if everybody thought like that? We would not have TV, we would not have the motor car, we would not have the incandescent light bulb, we would not have KFC or McDonlads or really any of the modern conveniences we now enjoy.

The people that came up with the ideas for the things we now, mostly, take for granted, were certain that they were going to do something, there was no indecision about what they were setting about to achieve. Did they know exactly how they were going to do it? I doubt it very much. Was everything in place and working perfectly? I can almost guarantee it was not.
No these people simply made a decision that automatically cut themselves of from any other possible outcome. Some of this may sound familiar, what I am trying to highlight in this post however, is that it is our own indecision our own fear of, failing, of succeeding, of what ever, that is causing us to put off the things, yes to procrastinate which of course is ultimately costing us everything that we could every truly desire.

So somethings to remember, ALL of the great entrepreneurs throughout time had a commonality, they ALL made decisions quickly and changed them slowly, IF AT ALL.
They did/do not wait for the perfect circumstances, they understand that the perfect circumstances really don't exist.
They did/do not let any outside influences steal their dreams and alter their plans. And what a beautiful thing!

Its simple, you make a decision as to whether or not your are ready for, wealth, success, loving relationships, or what ever in your life.
Its either yes and you take action towards your desired result.
or
Its no and you do nothing, you sit back and let your circumstances control you.

Something also to note, it might not always be plain sailing, in fact from my experience there is a lot of rough weather, this is only sent to test our resolve, to make us stronger, to ensure that we are ready for our new found utopia.

If you can remember that throughout your journey, and stay true to your course, then you will always make it to your destination.

John Lavenia explains this beautifully in his book 'Integrity is Everything'

He says that there is a simple way to see if you are going in the right direction, or making the right decision. Ask yourself two questions;

1. Is this going to take me closer to my goal?
If the answer is no, simple don't do it, if the answer is yes then follow it up with this question.
2. Will my actions impair or hurt anyone?
If the answer is yes, then do not take action, if the answer is no, take action and do not look back. Cut off from any other outcome.
