“Ambivalence is one of the biggest enemies of change. If you aren't sure that you really want to take action on something such as your weight, ambivalence will usually win.”
Linda Spangle
In order to take action we need to make a decision.
Have you decided what you want to do, what you want to create, what you want to achieve?
Today is a call to action. Decide and then do!
Thanks for stopping by. Now let's get busy succeeding!
This resonates strongly with me, because most of the time i second guess my decisions and i have trouble in big chances. This quote makes me think and revaluate some aspects of my life and i know that i still have lots of things to work on myself, but i will try that ambivalence doesn't shape my future to come ;)
We normally have second doubts about changing and we end up not taking any decisions which lead to ambivalence winning. For us to really change, we have to be focuses and have a plan and trust that everything will turn out find. That is the path for sucess, goals, trust and hard work make the rest!
I say in one word, life is competition,
Ambivalence is a word that defines well what sometimes goes on my mind. Its always hard to make a decision and change our life when we're not sure and have no guarantees to suceed. Its like jumping without a parachute and not knowing if we're going to land on a soft or hard surface. Thank you for a great quote and for to opportunity to learn a new word @goodvibrations :)
Ambivalence wins because the human being is afraid of the unknown and prefers the comfort of the current state. If we really want to make a change, we must have a big will power and put on heart that everything will be alright :)
Ambivalence will usually win and we won't change, but worse than that is that it will be forever stuck in our mind the question What if we had taken that decision and that usually ends on living a life with regrets.
On a more positive note, here is a joke about change:
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change and she does.
Yeah I am agree hehehe we all need to have a good decision such as planning before taking an action .
Hehehe Goodafternoon my Good fellow steemians and to our Great motivator @goodvibrations. A blessed day to everyone of us.😇
Ambivalence is as we say second thoughts. Like that voice inside your head which controls you and tells you that you’re gonna fail. Beat that voice and the world is full of potential
Today's quote mentions the insecurity we have when making important decisions. And in my opinion it is the confrontation with our demons or facing oneself facing the fear of leaving our conford area for not taking any risks
It is very important what you say, becuase it is what make us takes action with a lot of determination to achieve changes in our objetives and goals.
