Indecision

Indecision is a decision in itself.

When I was little and having a hard time deciding about something very important, my mom would explain that not making a decision was an automatic no because it was not a yes.  It would became the default answer because of inaction or an omission of yes.

The definition of: 

• indecision is the inability to make a decision quickly.
• decision is a conclusion or resolution reached after consideration.

It seems like the difference between the two words is quickly.

Sometimes a decision is easy.

We know the right answer.

And take action.

Other times the decision is hard.

We know the right answer.

And make no decision.

And take no action.

Indecision.

How do you feel when you are facing indecision?

hesitant

tentative

doubtful

uncertain

wavering 

second thoughts

hemming and hawing

sitting on the fence

Indecision steals our happiness.  It also robs us of concrete action.

Not making a decision is really a no!  When thought about this way it can bring clarity to a situation, because we think, well maybe the answer should not be no.  Most decisions can be undone.

Make a decision today.

Be committed to it for a good reason.

Decide to do something about it.

In the next 24 hours.

To make that very important decision there is time to use thought and care or even do a pro and con list.

But...if that answer isn't yes and you can't decide quickly...and do nothing...
it is a no...by default.

Happiness is a decision...

Followed by action.
