Have You Ever Second-Guessed Yourself?

Have you ever made the decision to do something, but later wondered if you’d done the right thing?

Of course you have.

Happens to everybody.

 Second-guessing is common after making a big purchase.

This is called buyer’s remorse, and it’s fairly harmless.

After all, most purchases are guaranteed in some way.

But second-guessing is also common when charting a new course for your life.

For example, switching careers, taking a new job, going back to school, or even setting out to master a new skill.

• Am I cut out for this?
• Did I make the right decision?
• Do I have what it takes to succeed? 

The doubts come fast and furious.

People hesitate.

They ask friends and family for advice and find themselves even more confused – and with less clarity – than before.

The solution?

 Fish or cut bait. 

You can’t do something half-heartedly and expect any kind of real success.

So decide whether you will or you won’t.

And if you will…

…then be totally focused, totally committed.

Act boldly with single-minded purpose.

As the philosopher Johann Wolfgang von Goethe rightly noted:

“Seize this very minute; what you can do, or dream, begin it; Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.“
