You stay in a state of "Awareness" and "Analysis" because you believe that making a real decision might lead to embarrassment or failure.By refusing to "burn the bridges" behind you, you ensure that you always have an escape route or a "back door". Your brain knows this escape route exists, which effectively kills any internal drive or urgency to find a real solution or follow through wholeheartedly. You may call this "keeping your options open," but as your business surgeon, I'm calling it Stagnation.THE TACTICAL CURE: You must stop issuing "preferences"—statements about what would be "nice" if certain conditions are met—and start making non-negotiable Decisions.
