settle for less indecision

My finals are over. One of the worst things that can happen during a final or any questioning time in your life is indecision. In my opinion indecision is worse than a wrong decision because it completely stops you from moving forward.

Decision making used to be impossible for me. My fear of making a mistake prevented me from making decisions. However, indecision is worse than a mistake. If I make a mistake, I have the opportunity to learn from it. But if I sit in indecision, I let all my opportunities disappear.

The first time I heard "skip it and move on" I thought I'd rather die first. I've learned that in test taking situations skipping a question you're confused about can allow you to have more time to answer questions you do know. I'm not suggesting you give up on what you don't know, what I'm suggesting is that rather than sitting indecisively, you ask or search for help.

No one makes the right decision all the time. So, don't beat yourself up when you make mistakes or let your fear of failure strand you in indecision. Make every mistake an opportunity to learn and information for the next decision. When you settle for less indecision, you'll find you've taken action to move forward.
