If you take inventory of your past or present decisions and evaluate the WHY behind the delays, you will often discover the culprit triggering indecision is a manifestation of "fear", in some form. And, if you continue to pull back the layers, you discover that your fear was the result of personal negative experiences, expectations based on other people's experiences, too much data (aka analysis paralysis) or not enough information which produces a lack of enough clarity to make a "wise" decision.
Actually, if we continue to peel the layers back on each of these barriers (to timely decision making), and keep asking WHY until the end of the line. Most all of it can be bundled up under the Clarity umbrella, and ranging somewhere on the spectrum between the search for "not enough" clarity "too much" clarity. How much is enough to make wise, discerning decisions. Perhaps this searching, waiting, etc. is just masquerading and it's really just Procrastination, in the name of clarity. Double-mindedness or indecisiveness can be the result of too much data, especially when it conflicts. At the same time, over zealous or reckless decision making with out adequate data is equally unwise.
When you think about what people fear, it's also about Clarity - too much information, not enough, misinterpreted data, expectations (true or false) all based on clarity. So then, what's the most efficient and effective way to start getting enough clarity to make wise decisions?
Take action (maybe just baby steps)...evaluate, pray, seek counsel, continue, shift, pivot, stop, regroup, ask questions - take action, rinse and repeat. You've heard it said that in some cases, the wrong decision is better than no decision because you get new information to make different decisions, and hopefully "better" decisions to move you in the direction of the desired outcome.
If you're stuck or feeling anxious about a career pivot in the direction of pursuing your Vocational Calling. Or perhaps you are seriously contemplating transitioning out of your unfulfilling, comatose career and into a Purpose Driven "Callingpreneur" Adventure, chances are you are experiencing fear or doubt - both of which are rooted in Clarity factors.
