\"\"<\/a>\"\"Paralyzed in fright by a choice in front of you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
It’s easy to build up a decision in your mind until it’s reached monolithic heights. <\/strong>The more important a choice feels, and the more distinct the options you choose from, the higher the likelihood that you will feel paralyzed \u00a0by it<\/a>. This is especially true when you find yourself needing to choose between things you are passionate about<\/strong> and weigh them against the things you need to do <\/strong>and your available time<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
More than likely, you have at least one situation in your life that tugs on you this way, and leaves you feeling that the choice is always all or nothing. I wrote about this the other day<\/a>, in reference to a friend’s dilemma in setting priorities so that he could devote more time and energy to his business.

My answer to this sort of “analysis paralysis”<\/a> that strikes many job-seekers and career-builders: <\/strong>do what the Ghostbusters<\/a> always did in their movies.<\/div>\n

People told them not to cross the beams, but they did. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
Every. Single. Time.<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
And the ghosts went away. <\/em><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n
Nothing in life is all or nothing.<\/strong><\/div>\n
