Doing 1 uncomfortable thing daily: Day 4 - Take a stand
Here is the thing about this - I do not take a stand and avoid conflict. Am I Spineless - I don't think so. I do stand up for my people or things I believe in. So the problem with taking a stand - what if you are wrong? what if there are things which you have not thought of yet, what if the decision goes horribly wrong, have you weighed in all the aspects of the problem and solution?
I am a lot more of the gut guy who does things from intuition and based on what seems right of course when the data is absent. Hence, I am good when I have to take decisions on my own but not really so when I have to take decisions on multiple aspects and taking every factor into consideration. However, Watching HOC yesterday, I realized that even the president does the same. Of course there is lot more data and view points but finally he makes a gut call and plans for how to handle all types of consequences. So weigh-in on the consequences of your decision - but then take a stand. Not taking a stand would not help and definitely not helping.
So for today and going forward, take a stand on atleast 1 thing everyday. Feel strongly about 1 direction and be with it and aggressively start pushing into it. Plan for the consequences which come with it then. So that's the uncomfortable thing for today.
Update: This challenge wasn't successful. I could not take any stand professionally. I really need to think what I want and then take stand on things which take me there.
