When was the last time you closed a door on an option?
Likely not any time recent. That’s because people are wired to leave their options open.
I recall a time that my significant other and I put off buying new dinner plates because we couldn’t decide between red or blue. We’ve all had similar situations. Getting a Ram means you won’t get the Silverado. Buying one phone means you won’t get the other and vice versa.
The problem with indecisiveness is the cost of waiting.
The old tale is that there is a donkey standing between two haystacks of identical size at two opposite sides of the barn. The donkey stands in the middle of the two haystacks, not knowing which to select. Hours go by, but he still can’t make up his mind. Unable to decide, the donkey eventually dies of starvation.
Death was the consequence of indecisiveness.
While this is an emphasized analogy, it drives home the point that every minute, hour, day you postpone a decision, the greater the consequence becomes.
Stay Positive & Decide
