Thanks for stopping by. I like what you said about the process of decision making driving fear. It's a terrible cycle. @Lance – Yeah, it can be hard to let go and just take that leap sometimes, but I find that it’s often worth it.

The paralysis is the fear of going forward with or into the unknown. Its a deep but all be it human trait to fear the unknown but revel in the constrasting emotion of success when the analyzation of those fears led you to a decision. Its not the fear its self that drives the decision making process but process of making a decision drives that fear. I have made decisions not based on the analyzation of my situation but out of the " neccesity" to make a decision. This in its self caused a many bad decisions due fear of not making the right decision.

For me, though, I try to do this with a good evaluation of what I'm getting myself into (the pros and cons). That said, usually when I do something based solely upon gut feel, I am pleased with the results. Is this saying I typically over-anlayze things before doing them? Maybe I need to be more like you, Amanda, and trust myself. I think this will not be easy to do, the whole change thing... But, I'm going to work on it. Sometimes I still think it's good to analyze what your doing, but I can definitely do more trusting in my life, and more quickly get to where I want to go. Trust yourself – I like that.
