Identify your strengths and weaknesses. Focus on the strengths that you have and gradually transform your weaknesses into strengths. Have a positive sense of self. Read books on enhancing your self-esteem and self-confidence. This way, when you find yourself at one of life's crossroads, you will act more decisively rather than second-guessing your decision. Avoid “paralysis analysis” (overthinking situations). Instead, give yourself a deadline for taking control of unexpected situations. The worst decision is often no decision.
