Indecision is like standing at a crossroads, staring at each path, unable to move. It’s exhausting. I’ve lived with it for years—agonizing over choices, second-guessing everything, feeling stuck. At times, it was paralyzing, turning even simple decisions into internal battles. But over time, I’ve learned a few things.
First, certainty is overrated. I used to think I had to be absolutely sure before making a choice, but life doesn’t work like that. Some decisions won’t ever feel "perfect," and waiting for total clarity often leads to missed opportunities.
Second, fear drives indecision. I realized that my hesitation often came from a fear of making the wrong choice. But mistakes aren’t the enemy—inaction is. The worst decision isn’t always making the wrong move; it’s making no move at all.
Third, small steps matter. When faced with a big decision, I’ve found that breaking it down into tiny steps makes it easier. Instead of obsessing over the entire journey, I focus on the next logical step. Movement, no matter how small, builds confidence.
And finally, self-trust is key. I used to believe other people had all the right answers, but I’ve learned to trust myself more. My instincts, experiences, and values guide me, and even if I don’t always get it right, I can handle whatever comes next.
I’m still working on it. Indecision hasn’t vanished, but it no longer controls me. And that, in itself, feels like progress.
