I think INDECISION gets its way over any other time-consuming habit at wasting our precious time, causing horrendous headaches as well as at making us missing the opportunities of including which we don’t even realize passing us by!

I am glad that I have partly done something about the goal in my mind. I learnt that I don’t need to wait too long for the “right” time, either, because that, obviously, comes only once in a blue moon. I believe in most cases, the time is now. So, we better worry about how to do it (and just do it) instead of taking valuable time to fret about whether we should do something or not, don’t we?

It might be working out right or the other way round. If the latter seems to be haunting us after the decision, well, at least it’s off our mind, and we can pay our attention to something else. Personally, I could clearly see myself in a more disastrous never-ending series of unnecessary fear and confusion if I keep procrastinating.

I think we should be more contented making mistakes than not making decisions. Of course there’s the fear of making decisions which is likely going to put us into procrastinations. Like when you have got to choose between to keep on living with a loving but witless slob for ever, and to just leave him and start off with a new life; and you’re not sure of which is the better one, so you put off the decision.

Well, if I were in a case like that (the instance has got nothing to do with me, it just popped out through my mind, so I am not deciding anything here, okay), obviously, the thing to do is to pick either one, and I would do it immediately. I think I would just take the first step in any direction (seriously?).

At least after putting myself into some kind of thrust, I’d feel that something is done. Well, the more time we spend just to make a decision, the farther we would get from making any at all, wouldn’t we?

Even if our decision is the wrong one, we can correct it. Or soon after we know about such mistakes, perhaps we could take the remaining choice. At least we won’t have to decide anymore. I admit that I have spent a lot of valuable time trying to make inconsequential decisions. Of course, important things do call for thoughts before being decided. But it’s the trivial ones that we spend too much time on, such as: Should I take a cab or bus? Should I buy the black blouse or the white one or should I not at all? Should I go eat there or there or where, but I have just reached here? Should I …And soon endlessly.

I have just realized that we always bother about making a time-consuming decision over small things. Well, I am talking the time we could have spent with our loved ones, or topping up our knowledge, or zikrullah etc…Why not do the one that needs less effort, and then stop thinking about it. Easier said than done, but you would want to agree with me, that you don’t really need those indecisive moments after all!
