Decisions always want more time.
Decisions always want more data.
Decisions always want more opinions.
Decisions don’t like risk.
Decisions don’t like being wrong.
Decisions don’t like upsetting people.
Decisions choose the path of least resistance, whenever allowed.
Decisions like being easy.
Decisions like being popular.
Decisions like being swayed by others.
Decisions like to follow.
Decisions like to blame someone.
Decisions like hiding behind distractions.
Decisions prefer urgency over importance.
Decisions prefer not to decide.
Decisions rarely see at a distance.
Decisions are just ideas until we turn them into action. They’ll be difficult. They’ll lack information. They’ll often be wrong.
Decide anyway!
Each of us gets to make our own decisions…even when we choose not to decide.
All the rest are the stories we tell to justify the decisions we’ve made.
