Recently a friend was speaking to me about something that they’d been thinking about doing for a long time but had never put any effort into making it happen. I could tell that they’d put a lot of thought into planning how they could achieve what they’d been thinking about. Perplexed, I asked why they had never gone through with their plan. Their answer? They were afraid that if they did, it might turn out to be a bad decision.
What’s the problem with making bad decisions?
Do the maths (or math, if you’re a yank), I can either:
- do nothing, no chance of a pay off.
- do something, chance of a pay off.
Say I make 10 decision, five of them are bad and they put me into shitty situations. Four of them aren’t so bad, but I don’t get anywhere with them either, just shit decisions, no-one notices, phew. Finally, I make a half decent decision. It pays off, woot! So, I have some shit to deal with and a pay day.
We all get hit with moments of indecision, but a decision, even if it turns out to be bad is better than giving in to fear and doing nothing.
