SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO
There’s a great line in that song by The Clash…
“This indecision’s bugging me - Esta indecisión me molesta”
I never really got it when I was a young teen bopping out to that tune or even when I was singing it in our band The Empty Shells.
I get it now.
Indecision is awful. It generates stress. It makes non-issues become issues. It makes mountains out of mole hills. It awards WAY too much merit and worry to things that rarely deserve a tenth of it.
Worst of all, it wastes your very precious time.
Worrying about what will happen if you choose A or B robs you of fully enjoying what’s happening right now.
Deliberating is good. Weighing options is good. Playing out scenarios in your head is good.
But so many times I get stuck in that loop. Worried that I’ll make the wrong decision.
It’s a sucker’s game.
You know the right answer. You know it already.
Trust your gut.
Take a calculated risk.
Make the decision and move on with enjoying life.
