Summary
Contrary to what we may tell ourselves, doing nothing is a choice. Indecision is, in fact, a decision.
That leads to the obvious question: "Well, what do we do about it then?"
In this episode I discuss a mental shift that will change how you view decision making and motivate you to begin moving towards your ideal self.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Your World Within Daily. I'm Eddie Panero. |
| 0:04.0 | In this episode, we're going to talk about indecision and how contrary to what we think or what we tell ourselves, |
| 0:10.0 | not acting, is in fact a decision to stay the same. |
| 0:14.0 | So what do we do about it? So a lot of you know on my other podcast books to business, I go through a book every week. |
| 0:32.7 | And a lot of the concepts for these ideas stem from the book that I'm reading at the time. Last week, |
| 0:39.1 | thinking fast and slow this week for our work week by Tim Ferriss. And he's a pretty cool |
| 0:44.0 | concept in there. I tied it into yesterday's episode a little bit, the idea of sort of indecision |
| 0:50.1 | and being scared to change. So we disguise it as, you know, this kind of fake optimism. |

| 1:23.8 | is there's life and then there's growth, they're stepping up, there's doing something |
| 1:30.8 | different, right? Life is a flat plane, and you can jump to the next staircase, the next stair, |
| 1:36.4 | the next level, or you can stay where you are. And the problem with that is that it essentially |
| 1:43.0 | rationalizes being where we are, staying in the same place. |
| 1:48.1 | Because it's like, well, we can always climb to that next level some other day. |
| 1:51.3 | It's always going to be there, right? |
| 1:52.7 | And tomorrow will be better. |
