If you have difficulty making decisions, read this book
Friday, March 28th, 2008I have read many self help books in my time, but there is one that stands out as probably the most life changing I have ever read.
I have always had difficulty making decisions, or following an action that just might turn out to be the “wrong one”. This fear of failure often stopped me from moving forward.
This attitude changed profoundly when I read Susan Jeffers’ Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway.
Written in any easy-to-read format, this book challenges our inability to make decisions by turning them from win:lose scenarios to win:win scenarios.
I read this book several years ago, but I still remember and use these two lessons that I learned from reading this book:
1. There is no such thing as making good decisions or making bad decisions. Every decision we make teaches us something, and will move us forward in life, whether or not the decision turns out as we wanted.
2. It is our feeling of fear that we avoid, rather than the action itself. If we wait for this feeling to go away before taking action, we will end up doing nothing. Susan Jeffers teaches us how to acknowledge the fear and move through it instead of avoiding it so that we can take the next step forward in life.
There is of course much more to be learned from this essential self help book, but these two things have remained with me and have helped me to make many life decisions.
I recommend this book to anyone who is facing a big decision, or feels afraid to take a big step in life.
