INDECISION!!!!!!
I think it is one of my greatest weaknesses and failings. I can come the the conclusion that I need to buy or do something. And I am suddenly overwhelmed with uncertainty.
"Is this really the right thing to be doing?"
"Is there some way I could be doing it better?"
" Do I honestly need this whatever it is? I've gotten along up until now without it, what really makes me think I need it now?"
" How do I know that I won't be able to find a better one, or a comparable one for less money?" Right now, my indecision is stemming from computers, specifically the buying of a laptop computer. I am no expert when it comes to computers (as you may have gathered from previous complaints, I mean, posts). I know just enough to feel embarrassed about asking basic questions, because I feel like I know the answers.... very bad.
So what am I going to do? I am going to do what I usually do when confronted with indecision, walk away from it. Decide, not to decide on this laptop or that one, but to do without a laptop all together... at least for a while longer.

Ahhh, it is such a relief to come to some sort of resolution.... pathetic...

I could help you choose if you like...I have bought a couple of laptops, and know enough to be helpful (I think). Let me know what you are looking for...

An observation: It seems to me that the indecision stems from a fear of making a wrong decision. We will never achieve a perfect score when making decisions. We are all wrong at one point or another. It is in those wrong decisions that we can come to the greatest learning. Remember, not making a choice is a choice in itself, but it is a choice that does not bring any further knowledge of self. Do not be afraid to make mistakes. If you fear mistakes you will never risk enough to know your true potential. Just a thought.

Nevermore, you are right. This is something that I've been working on for a long time...evidently I still have a long way to go. Thank you for your thoughts.

Toque, I'd love the help.
