Question: How can I become more decisive!?
I always weigh up carefully the pros and cons of a decision

I struggle with moving forward and making a decision because of what that could mean giving up on or moving on fromWww@QuestionHome@Com

It is hard sometimes in order to be more decisive and come up with a decision!. Sometimes as we grow up, we just have to try things, and even if we fail at it, we still have to try!. The way that I look at things for me, is it is not the last decision that I will ever make!. But please heavily consider not doing things, if it involves phyiscal harm to yourself, or to others!. But decisions that are like for instance, should I go to the store or not today!? or questions like that, is ok to decide on doing, but with other events that may provide harm to you or someone else should not be performed!. I hope that this helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Hagakure says that everything should be decided within 7 breaths!. (it also says a man should never be seen in public without blusher, so y'know, don't take it as law or anything)!.

I think you need to do some deep thinking!. Could it be that you don't believe in yourself and therefore don't have the confidence to make a decision as you don't believe you're able enough to make the right one!?

You know what - it's ok for change to happen, and it's ok to make mistakes!. Are you a surgeon with a child's life in your hands!? If not, I doubt there's anything that intense you need to worry about (and hey, even that surgeon can only save the child if they are decisive enough to act quickly)!.

Start small!. Tonight for dinner, decide what you're having in under a minute!. Then have it!. It's not much, but it's a start!.
Then maybe make supr of the moment plans to meet friends or see a movie - but no more than an hour in advance!. And if nobody's free, go to the cinema alone!. It really won't kill you!

Good luck :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I tell you there is nothing wrong with weighing up the pros and cons!.It's better than going ahead and just doing things without thinking!.So you have a good start, and the rest will come to you naturally as you get older and get more experience in life!.
I hope you're not now going to tell me you're 76!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

a winner is a loser who tried harder
have confidence in your self and occasionally take a quick decision
in a lighter vein
to be decisive put your foot down with a firm hand

Think less, not more!.

And accept that you can't control the outcome of everything so you may as well go ahead and make the decision and then go with the flow!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
