Decisions...

it has always been a dream of mine to have a day - a holiday if you will -when we do not have to make a decision! But life is not that way... Every day requires some level of decision making and that includes the famous phrase "Not to decide is to decide"!

Decisions are often uncomfortable and off-putting because we don't want to make them. Usually, behind these feelings, we are afraid it won't be the right one. This can lead to analysis/paralysis, where if we don't make the decision, the decision could be made for us.

But consider this - some decisions don't have to be made right away. If we give them some time, they will eventually meet us where we are in the process... and we will finally come to know the answer.

And if you like the theory of Malcolm Gladwell's book “Blink”, that a decision made quickly could be as valid as one made cautiously, it's very exciting to rely on "limited information from a narrow period of experience" to come to a conclusion!

But in any case, the one thing decisions have in common is that we don't have a clue about the answer, we don't know what they have to deliver. So the question is… are you ready for the delivery?
