Reason for not being able to take decisions

…contd….

So, that’s not the issue. The issue is even after knowing what I want, I don’t go for it, why? The reasons are very simple like:

 

·         Fear of failure: this is one of the major reasons as to why we never take a decision – small or big in life. We are afraid of the outcome. What if the decision taken is wrong? How can a decision be wrong if that’s what you want? For eg. If you want to eat paanipuri (street food) you do and then fall sick (food poisoning). In this taking a decision to eat is not wrong. It’s just that, that day at that place it didn’t give the results we were comfortable with.

Only 10.7% people die of accidents. But the majority of people die in the safe haven of their homes (more that 21%). Do we understand that homes are no safer? Or that I can’t go out as I may die in an accident? Both are wrong assumptions and these statistics can’t help us to decide, infact they confuse us if at all any!

So, understand this fear clearly. We can never go wrong with decisions but the outcome of the results sometimes can be painful. But then who can guarantee of any decision that we take? What are the loses that you would incur if you fail?

·         Physical problem – ill health etc

·         Emotional problem like misunderstanding and maximum losing a relationship

·         Monetary

·         Prestige, name and fame

Physical lose most of the time can be reversed. Sometimes they are inevitable and nothing can be done about them. Like being affected with disease like cancer. You can feel bad if you smoke, drink alcohol or have wrong food habits or life-style. But even then it is waste. If you don’t want to be affected, you should have healthy life-style right from the beginning. So, does that guarantee no disease life? Not necessarily so. But atleast you didn’t create it with hard work and your stupidity. Good enough. Right? For reasons beyond our control, well we can have no say.
