Decisions can be the catalyst for positive change, while indecision complicates most situations. We mull over the pros and cons, the virtues and downsides. And yet will we ever know? Likely not. If we had known, the decision would not be one we need to make. If it is pouring rain, should you take an umbrella? Yes. No decision.
So why do we mull over decisions? All it does is create uncertainty, confusion, and discontent. It is not in any way a clear and happy situation. In truth, we are likely mulling over or stalling what we already know. Is it our form of procrastination, avoiding tough decisions we should make, or pushing us forward into areas of discomfort?
Ambiguity is not a savior. Instead, it is the toll of discontent. If it is not abundantly clear from the outset, commit to making a decision and go with it. If it involves other people or parties, your indecision helps no one.
Be decisive, you will soon know if that was right or wrong, but it will be better than not knowing at all, or worse off making no real decision and hence committing to nothing.
