The current state of an individual, group of people or an organization is essentially a reflection of the past decisions made, and how the outcomes of these decisions were handled. Regardless of your position or role in life, you will be faced with times when you’ll have to take tough decisions.
Most times, the burden is usually heavier when you realize the weight of the decisions and the impact of their outcomes. It is imperative that during these times you do not lose your composure as that could make you take the wrong step or even make the wrong decision.
Theodore Roosevelt in his quote said that in any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing. This is a great template. Theodore’s quote does not encourage making wrong decisions, he encourages calculated risks, in-depth research that will influence taking quality decisions. He, however, in the same quote encourages being bold enough to not let the fear of wrong decision stop you as it is the next best decision you can make after the right one.
Why? You get to learn, you become stronger, tougher. You see things from a different perspective.
The worst thing to do is nothing. What if it works? What If it doesn’t? All these you never get to find out until you make a decision.
Don’t let fear stop you.
