How can some people make a decision and stick to it whereas some cannot?

Question

I can never ever decide on something and make it happen cos I'm always running after something 'better'. Especially in my studies - I have a pretty good Idea of what I want to be and what kind of career I would like to choose - But as time goes by I tend to change my mind and go in a different direction. This has really made a mess of my life.
How do I stick to my plans?. I have everything worked out, but I am so afraid that one year from now I'll want something else and all what I am donig now will be wasted.
Please tell me how not to change my mind all the time?.
Thanks

Answer 1

Indecision is the key reason why people cannot or do not stick to a plan of action they have already decided on. As you write, in your case it is about "sunning after something 'better' ".

Think back repeatedly on how this behavior has "really made a mess of my life." Imagine what your life would have been like if you had not gone off on a different decision in one case.

Then, in the future, when you are thinking about changing direction, think about how you have "messed up" - maybe one time you will NOT change direction.

Answer 2

Those who take decision and stick to it have strong convictions, and will power. Their decisions are well calculated and-thought off, they know their strengths and weaknesses and they evaluate them well when they make a decision.

The cost of in-decision some time is too expensive and can ruin a career or an opportunity.

Yet there are people they make good decisions and do implement them as well but always they have doubts about being better. Such people are knowledgeable sensitive perfectionist and to some extent inflexible. This trait of "inflexibility" is their driving force for better and the best but outwardly it is exhibited as indecision. In your case too I feel this is the reason for your out ward behaviour and as you mature it will get more and more stronger character trait. You can make a good team member for creative analysis..

Answer 3

I think people who are able to make decisions and stick to them have particular goals in mind and have thought out all of their options before making the final decision. That is what I suggest you do for yourself. Write it down on paper and list your strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, and your goals for your life. Looking over these things will help you to narrow things down and get closer to a decision that will work for you. I think you just need to think all of your options through and the positive and negatives of each career path. This should help you some. Follow your heart and your dreams and go for whatever it is that you know inside you will enjoy and excel at. Good luck to you!
