Power Play: Power is the ability to decide

22 February 2013 Rose Herceg

In an era of unprecedented choice, making a decision has never been harder. Which road to take? What happens if it turns out to be the wrong road? Two choices look equally good. It goes on.

Power Players hone their decision-making skills. They know that living in limbo is no way to live. And they would rather make a decision that may turn out to be wrong rather than make no decision at all.

Decisions also come with power because they stop others from making decisions for you.

It also says to the world that you know what you want and in making a decision you’ve moved forward.

Decisions are what make us. They are brave, no matter what the consequences, and Power Players know this.

Keep making decisions every day of your life. It will keep you brave and this is what being a Power Player is all about.
