I resonate with this too. Believe I am and can, and start acting as if that was reality.
Here’s to breaking ceilings!

I love your last sentence here. 'Indecision is stagnant.' I completely agree with this. Indecision doesn't help it only hurts. Even if you make a mistake, you can learn how to make decisions better, but at least you are moving and growing.Eva Darrington wrote: ↑09 Jan 2018, 22:39 The myth that I tend to believe is this: If you must choose between indecision and perhaps making a wrong decision—it’s right to choose indecision. I struggle with decision-making. What I know but forget is that sometimes taking action is the only way to make progress and learn new things. Indecision is stagnant.

I like it too and I agree with it. Without fix decision, we cannot move to the next step or we cannot do the best things.AbbyGNelson wrote: ↑31 Jan 2018, 11:26I love your last sentence here.

Wow. It seems that this book is a good book to read on. Decision-making is very hard for me as well. But, I tried to balance the best thing.

I agree with you on this. While society dictates, the family adapts. That is why most of the children may have been trained unconsciously to follow what the norms are. Norms and the fear of the unknown outcome mostly the reason why many think to just settle down. A myth like this will remain a myth not unless someone decided to take a different path. I personally experienced the same matter and I still struggle to break free from what is and what is not.inaramid wrote: ↑10 Jan 2018, 00:31 The only thing I found relatable was in the chapter Toeing the Line. Growing up in a small town myself, I know how hard it is to break free from the limits imposed by both family and society. Thinking that "This is it. This is the world," is a dangerous myth that should be broken.

I totally agree. This myth affected me too with my dad. He always wants to set a path for me (sometimes without my knowledge) and make me walk in it. However, I have learnt how to live my own life and make my own decisions.TrishKissane wrote: ↑08 Jan 2018, 06:40 The myth that you have to "follow in your Father's footsteps". I have recently started to realise that my upbringing and family traits/traditions will of course have impacted me but the art is to take what was positive to me and walk my own path.

Yes! A company I used to work for had a ceo that was super into those ideas, that we set our own limitations and that we can manifest success. She set up a couple of workshops on positive thinking and stuff like that. I was always pretty skeptical of her dream boards lol but it's true that success starts with dreams. And your limitations start in your own mind too.

What you said here is amazing, indecision is indeed stagnant. It serves few purposes other than frustrating the hell out of someone. If one takes a decision, it may well be a bad one, but at least one would know.Eva Darrington wrote: ↑09 Jan 2018, 22:39 The myth that I tend to believe is this: If you must choose between indecision and perhaps making a wrong decision—it’s right to choose indecision.
