Have you heard the story of Buridan’s Donkey? . . . If not, the story is actually pretty ridiculous, but so very, very true to human nature. See if you relate to this:

A donkey is placed right in the middle of two stacks of hay. He’s hungry, very hungry, but he doesn’t know which one to choose, so he stays where he is, and dies.

Ridiculous, right?? If it were truly a life or death decision, surely, he would pick one and eat?!

How many times have you been stuck in “paralysis by analysis”? Waiting for the choice to become crystal clear BEFORE you make a decision . . .  That decision could be in staying in a dying marriage or doing something about it. That decision could be making a career change because you absolutely hate your job, but you are waiting for the “right one” to come along. That decision could be waiting to make a purchase (like my video course!) because you aren’t really sure it will give you the benefit you are looking for.

If you can’t determine which choice is the best, and you can put the decision off without experience too much pain (staying comfortable has got to be the BEST choice, right??), you will put that decision off every single time. You will pick the safest choice – which is making NO DECISION AT ALL!

“The most important thing to remember is this: To be ready at any moment to give up what you are for what you might become.” (W. E. B. DuBois)

What decision have you been putting off? What will it take for you to step into the uncomfortable and make a choice that will truly give you life?

Much Love,
