The One Reason You Probably Aren’t A Mentally Decisive Warrior

You may wonder why there's a need for anyone to become a modern-day warrior and adopt a warrior mindset. what's wrong with just relaxing and enjoying life?

Well, while there's nothing wrong with relaxing per-say and while we all got to relax and unwind from time to time, there are many scenarios where our soft and domesticated nature lets us down.

Take any situation that needs a fast and decisive decision. So few folks are forced to perform swiftly in important life or death situations anymore and that’s why numerous folks struggle with even the easiest decisions. As an example, they discover themselves paralyzed when forced to settle on where to eat. They’ll delay important decisions within the workplace to the detriment of their careers – often leading to money, respect & advancement, lost. We stay in relationships and jobs we aren’t happy in and then we often find ourselves losing the respect of those around us, just because we’re unable to firm up our minds and act decisively.

This is an ideal example of a situation where it might be highly beneficial to possess a tougher, more warrior-like mindset. Here’s how you'll set about cultivating it.

• Why does one Delay?

For me to assist you in reaching decisions faster and more effectively, You now have to consider and accept what could be causing you to delay in the first place.

For many folks, the answer to the question has something to do with fear: fear of getting the choice wrong.

In some cases this is often obvious: we'd be fearful to make a decision such as which stock to place our life savings in or which job offer to take. Frankly, this is because we don’t want to face the results of getting it wrong: of being stuck with a job we hate and/or losing huge amounts of cash.

But many folks also struggle to form decisions about smaller things. Like where to go to dinner! Perhaps your wife or husband asked what you would like and you say ‘I don’t mind’.

Their response: ‘just make a decision!’

Your answer: ‘why don’t you create a decision?’

Sound familiar?

The problem here is simple and breaks down like this: you don’t want to be liable for getting it wrong and upsetting your partner. If you choose to go somewhere you really like and that they don’t, then it'd put them in a bad mood.

Likewise, you then offer options simply because it’s polite. Where did that get you? You’re probably still hungry and now you’re both upset.

• How to Make Decisions Quickly and Be More Mentally Decisive

So how does one overcome this weakness and begin making decisions more quickly?

The answer is simple: you learn to face the results and take responsibility.

This means you'll offer for the opposite person a solid choice once you make your mind up. Accept that sometimes you’ll get it wrong, especially if they’re being unhelpful. Accept that the person may very well end up in a bad mood as a result. But don’t delay further: just accept these as probable results and move on.

The same goes for selecting employment, choosing a project, opting to end or stick with a relationship…

Simply and quickly run through the likely outcomes of every decision. One is bad, one is worse and one may very well make you happier. Stop worrying about getting it wrong and just tell yourself that you simply can’t affect that scenario if you continue to leave it unapproached.
