Annexing Indecision

Flowing from the challenge we face with taking a stand is the result that being undecided can create and make of us. The sum total of the altitude we can attain is a direct consequence of our attitude with the hard questions we must answer most times. 

One reality of our approach to the challenging situations or crossroads in our daily life pursuit is that we tend to lose the zest to make informed and unbiased choices as we wander for too long on the same issue. Yet, it’s easy to sit as an armchair critic and advocate how one should weather through the maze of indecision without understanding that while it is so difficult to hold down the hand, lifting the same hand can be such a huge task. It all depends on where one is. Decisions carry with it responsibility and those responsibilities are the consequences of the choices we make. 

How often do you find people complain about their inability to forge ahead with a seemingly easy thing? Do you know that it is so easy to see such fellows as either weak in resolve or focused on the wrong options? Yet I have found that the reason why we can do some things that we feel others are dragging their foot about is simply because we are at that place where we can see in lights that these people don't. Truth is that if our thought patterns are blurred by illusions we can never be driven enough to see a clear path that is even set in front of us. 

Yet, many of us seem to glory in drag footing. We find every reason to not do something. As in you wonder whether the decision inertia (fears and doubts) will ever go away. But you know friend, fears and doubts have never been challenged or overcome by the human intellect. Fear brings both a sadness and pain that is sourced from the fuel of our thoughts. The fear you believe will make your joy incomplete and kills any form of fulfillment you will ever gain in this life. Often these doubts are cast in the lies we have so openly embraced. For when doubts hold sway and fear holds court, peace and clarity takes exit. 

The truth is that we bother ourselves about what God has already taken control of, we submerge our life in an ocean of our self-inflicted and consuming flames and it burns our resolve and strength to stay stablish and happy. As Joyce Meyer puts it "this happiness is not based on our circumstances but on the decision we make". And there we find the solution. For when we annex indecision, we do it with a disposition that hands all our life, future, hope and desire to it. We build our lives around the fear we created with our hands and glorify the idols we created in such efforts. 

Life is beautiful, everyone has strengths and weaknesses; we are not all alike, we must let people be who they are; just like love is an investment in faith such that it is a decision and not a feeling. We must therefore in the face of that hard decision of choosing to walk away or try harder not bend to the lies of fears and doubts. The real battle that must be won is in the mind; its sublime, yet do know we are not the person we were last year, so it means we can face that mountain. Yes indeed! Yet first, you must stop squeezing others into your box. Keep indecision at bay, it’s the enemy of time and a brother of procrastination. 

Nugget:  Don't stay glued to a spot, do something but never make indecision your soul mate
