Indecisiveness
Indecisiveness is one way that people try to prevent or to hide their mistakes until there
is no way to correct them. This inability to commit to taking action is ultimately an act of cowardice.
Governments, bureaucracies, and corporations are often fraught with indecisive people. The fear of losing credibility or status keeps the fainthearted from making decisions that could change things for the better. Hence, we deal with indecisiveness that leads to no positive action or to stagnation.
The decisive people of our world have the courage to take action, fall on their faces, admit the mistake, make it right, and then get on with life. These bold individuals don't count such situations as failures; they gain new skills, learning to walk tall.
In Native American culture, a courageous example of decisiveness is found by recalling when our braves going into battle cried out, "It is a good day to die!"
