Make a Decision

Most people seem to make a big deal out of making a decision.  But this is a bad sign of their ability to progress through life.  Making decisions should be as natural as breathing (according to Charlie "Tremendous" Jones).  Our job in life is not to make decisions, that should come naturally.  Our job is to make our decisions right.
We are never going to be in a position to have all the facts and all the information to make the "right" decision.  So we need to take the all the information that we can get and make the best decision we can.  Once the decision is made we need to work to make that decision the right one.  And we can only learn for ourselves, through our decisions and the resulting consequences.  So we need to make it a habit to make decisions and then make them right.

"...people will often encourage you in a risky venture as long as it means nothing to them. If you invited them to come along, it would be a different thing. In life and in business, the acid test is to invite them to invest their own money. Then you learn how deep their approval goes."
(Brian Tracy, "Success is a Journey", p.43)
