Decisiveness vs. Procrastination

The ability to recognize key factors and finalize difficult decisions.

Decisiveness in the home includes:

· Firmly establishing the family commitment to good character by forming habits based on desired qualities.

· Discussing with each other the decisions that need to be finalized to avoid making rash choices based on the impulse of the moment.

· Making decisions based on a commitment to character vs. popular opinion.

· Keeping each other accountable to not procrastinate.

I will...

· not look back.

· do what I say.

· make the right decision and stick to it.

· look at things from more than one point of view before making up my mind.

· not give in to peer pressure.

Rewards of Decisiveness

Success

Obtaining wise counsel from many before finalizing a decision will ensure its success.

Confidence

Procrastination of decision making often results in confusion and wasted time; when families base decisions on previous commitments, they will have greater confidence in their decisions.
