Indecision can be a curse leading to one putting off decision after decision. One after another. Don't get into the decisive cycle of inactivity.

Gotta face your demon sometimes. Won't go away, won't retreat; it is neither for you or against you. How you react to them, but really how you react to you. You are the ingredient that makes all this tick, a demon, oh what a demon. May be nothing to your friend or neighbour, but to you has real meaning. What gives the demon energy? And life? You do. What takes away the demons, energy and life - you do. Do it for yourself.

You have that power. You have that ability. Use it. Believe it. Have faith in yourself.

Oh, how easy it appears to be decisive - but how hard to achieve.

I really do not like the look of this. Why not? What deters you? What can you lose? What is your stake, what can you afford to lose? Equally what are you willing to invest? A balance needs to be made between investment and benefit, and a decision made as to whether or not to proceed.

Why do we resist? Where does it come from - or where does it go? What is there in the object/circumstance/situation that prompts our resistance to it. Fear, anxiety, worry, how people will see nothing. But it is real for us?

How easy it is to see indecision in your friend, but not in yourself.
