Paralysis by Analysis

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I woke up with this phrase on my mind today. It is so often easy to get stuck in that cycle of analyzing everything to death such that we become paralyzed to make any decisions. Whether the decisions we face are professional or personal, it IS about making them. And sometimes we make good decisions, sometimes they aren’t so good.

As I began to think more on this over my morning coffee, I found myself drawn back to the book “The Traveler’s Gift” by Andy Andrews. One of the seven decisions in the book is “I am a person of action.” This goes quite well with the next one which says “I have a decided heart.”

It is only by making a decision and moving forward that we truly have any momentum in our lives. Someone once said “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” And it really is that simple, one step at a time.

What decisions are you not making today that you need to? How fan you have a decided heart and become a person of action?
