# Chapter 201

So what do you do in light of such analysis paralysis? Well time is gonna force your hand so you better think about this. There is a time frame - always. So the time frame if nothing else will force your hand. That is happening today now for me. One of my thorniest problems has a time limit of today. No matter what action I take or don’t take it will be decided today. And not taking action is the action I have been taking all along and that is how we got to the time limitations of this decision. Not taking action is definitely an action. Even my wife agrees 100% and that rarely happens, so you can take this one to the bank.

So if you don’t want inertia to finally make this decision for you and determine what happens, then that will require you to step up and pull the trigger on some definitive course. You have had these possible routes laid out before you for a while now and you must choose one or one will choose you. That is simply how it is and how it has always been.

The largest benefit to you choosing any definitive course is that you begin to apply all your energy, thinking and capacity to that choice once it is made. That is useful potential in action. Whereas if you allow inertia to decide in the end, all that energy, thinking, contemplating, and bandwidth that you have used to this point in consideration - is wasted, gone, unusable and unrecoverable. Every problem or opportunity has a time frame and the time is ticking.
