Just Do It

Decision Paralysis

To do or not to do!! Is closely connected with the famous phrase “ To be or not to be” by Hamlet. It is a deep insight, of your sheer existence.

In life you have many twists and turns, ups and downs where you need to decide which course to take. Many of us like to be the light house, and throw light to show the ship in the stormy waters , expecting it to navigate the course successfully , without captaining it. Having the steering wheel of life in your hand, will make you take charge of your life and every decision you make. It’s easy to point a finger and say , you were wrong. But , at least you took a decision and of course learn from it. Not taking one ,is Decision Paralysis.

Once you get habituated to decision paralysis , you create people who are comatosed and survive by a life line thrown in by someone with glucose or water injected into it. But , little do you realise , under the pretext of handholding , you make a cabbage of his gray cells and not allow him to grow or take decisions that are vital to your business success.

Every human being is gifted with a brain which is utilised to a maximum of just 10% , as per research done. Imagine 90% of that is wasted , and spread over a population of 7.7 billion globally , would be a huge loss. When we encounter a unique challenge or situation , we tend to look out for support .Do we apply our mind, common sense ,logic and evaluate how you could have solved it? Seeking help, support and inputs is always a good sign , deciding what to and what not to is your call. We sometimes work with a thought , what if my Boss says No!!!!?? I works with the principal of , do what you believe in and having applied your mind 100% and take a step , till someone says DON’T!!!.I still would like to question , why , so that I learn from it and evaluate the Pro’s and Con’s of my decision.

Every Entrepreneur is also taking a similar stance. He doesn’t have everything written down that carves his destiny. It is sheer grit, determination and  courage to take that one step forward towards the goal he wishes to achieve. You have 613,200 hours , assuming a life span of 70 years on a 24x7 basis .If I were to take 8 working hours per day it would 204,400 hrs. of your life span. If you remove the 24 years of your teenage and adolescence and youth  etc. till you start earning ,you have effectively just 134,320 hrs. of your life span. Do you want to be remembered for making these the most effective and productive hours for you and be called a successful person ? How you apply these hours to generate maximum bang for the buck is based on what decisions you take to reach there. There are interesting examples of Warren Buffet , Mukesh Ambani , Bill Gates , Narayan Murthy .You could take a leaf out of their page , but apply your own unique touch , which you have within and make it better .Don’t just follow blindly , apply your mind and live every moment.

If you want to scale the ladder of success in these 134,320 hrs.( Leaving Bonus Hours ,which are probably hard to find in these  stressful days) , you and only you will have to add maximum value to what ever you decide , that will take you to your ultimate goal. Coming to think of it , how many of us really have a personal and professional goal chalked out for us????
