Indecision is a Sign of Low Confidence

Being indecisive is very often a sure sign that we are lacking in confidence. If you have trouble making any kind of decision, or if when you do make a decision, you are always wondering if the decision you made was the "right one" it could be time to seriously think about how this affects your ability to reach your goals.

First off, there is no precise formula for successful decision making. We have all had the experience of regretting a particular decision and then some time down the line it turns out to be the best decision we could possibly have made. We will all  also have made decisions which on the surface seemed "the best" in the circumstances, then later we realise that going a different route might have been better.

So "wrong" decisions can be the "right" ones and
"right" decisions can be the "wrong" ones!

What do these facts tell us?  The first thing that this tells us is that no-one ever makes the right decisions 100% of the time! Not even the most successful people in the world get it right every single time. So let yourself off the hook! Accept that you made the best decision you could with the information you had at the time and let go of the outcome.

Have confidence in your decision and follow it through.

Something else we can learn from successful decision makers is that they maintain flexibility. Nearly any decision can be changed at a later date if it's not working out as we wanted it to. Never forget that we have the power to change our course and direct our own lives!

The real secret to good decision making is listening to both your feelings and your thoughts, which ultimately comes down to trusting yourself and then letting go. Once you start doing this you will find yourself gaining self confidence at a rapid rate.

Please feel free to leave your comments and share your journey to self confidence with others.
