8. saying less to Indecisiveness

I had a really positive response to the entry I wrote – when is it really too late to start. I meant every word of it, and have started my planning (well, the first stages).
There are two things that constantly prevent me from being more successful than I could be: Indecisiveness, and at times a negative thought process that results in less confidence than I should have when making big decisions. I can’t stand the word indecisive because I’ve been labeled exactly that- a hundred times over in my life time.
I am the kind of person that parks in the same place every morning, has the same coffee at the same time every morning, has lunch at the same time every day, goes home at the end of the day and does the exact same thing when I get there.
You’re probably thinking that the general routine of my daily duties are in order, and they are to an extent -everything in place makes me feel great. But then here is the whole other issue I deal with, the part of me that is not in order at all. My car is trashed, I spill my coffee on my shirt nearly every day, My mind thinks in the most abstract of ways and last but not least I never know what to do with my life so end up starting things only to change my mind half way through when a better idea comes along.
I honestly hope I am not the only person out there that struggles with the very hard challenge of knowing that you are awesome at most things but never have the mind set to see some aspirations all the way through.  
Sometimes I take pride in not making my mind up because I compare myself to Britney Murphy out of the many movies she has been in. They end up with her landing on her feet -with the best life ever. I think it’s time for everyone to admit; it’s just a movie and people work real hard to get where they are.
Over the past few weeks I have thought a lot about what life throws at you. Maybe you should have a go at deciding to do something, stick at it and see it through. That’s a goal I’d like to see happen.
