Let Go of Fear

Fear is the mind killer. Fear of decision making, fear of a particular decision, fear of taking a risk, fear of involving others, fear of not making a good decision. Fear can be a terrible barrier to good decision making.

When it comes time to make a decision, you must let go of any fears you have. The organization and its people are depending upon you to make a good decision, but fear of that decision will impair your ability to do so.

Fear of the decision can easily cause you to make a bad decision. Fear of the outcome of a decision can easily lead you to make the wrong decision, because you are afraid of the consequences of your decision.

Fear kills thinking processes, taints information with inappropriate values, precludes you from considering potential solutions, and keeps you from doing a good job at the process of making a decision.
