We procrastinate or abstain from making decisions. Some decisions may have consequences that may wary from bad to worse. This is not investment advice but you will find people hanging on to their bad economic decisions that continue to bleed, money decisions made in the past by them or someone who made it for them but it keeps hurting them. They continue to endure the pain as cutting ourselves off (decide — from Latin decidere from de- ‘off’ + caedere ‘cut’ from other options)would also be painful.
We hang on to the decisions or indecisions because we want to be right and we give more importance to being right than being happy.

Sometimes no decision is the best decision. I agree with you that no one wants to make the wrong decision but we need to take ownership of the decisions that we do make, blaming others or events out of your control is a cop out. Decisions are made on what we know at the time not on what we don't know. No one is perfect. Don't change your decision, make a new one!
