When you don’t know what to do…??
1.Just pick something. Be honest. Very few choices in life are make-or-break decisions. Hard to believe, but sometimes there is no wrong choice. You just need to do something.
2.Move forward. Don’t get stuck in self-doubt or feeling sorry for yourself. The best way to beat indecision is to build momentum. No hesitation, just motion. Move.
3.Accept the consequences. If you fail, own it and move on. There’s nothing productive about wallowing in self-pity. Don’t be burdened by regret. Fail forward. Learn from your mistakes. And move on to the next choice.
The choice
The reason you don’t know what to do is you haven’t learned how to act. Once you start getting things done, the doing isn’t as hard as it once was. In fact, it becomes habitual. You may even enjoy it.
There’s a “snowball” effect that happens here: once you start moving, it gets easier. Doing begets more doing. You stop seeing life as a series of danger signs and instead view it as a canvas.
So go. Create something beautiful. Start deciding.
