If they can get on a 8' x 8' raft, face sharks, no food for a week, get lost, maybe live through the experience all for the decision to have a better life and the freedom to do so, send 'em on up here.
That's a lot of decisions and a lot of effort.
That's why immigrants who come to America are so dang successful. Man, you live in Vietnam long enough and then find your way to America, you have it made in the shade. All success requires in America is decisions and effort. Nothing compares to the journeys required to actually GET HERE.
Of course, my kids live in America, so they have Playstations, big TV's and are basically at a big disadvantage for achievement and success compared to immigrants who make life or death decisions and then actually DO them....damn immigrants....
Here’s a good way to overcome the indecision insanity.
Get angry enough at your current circumstance that you D-E-C-I-D-E to make a change. The most effective tool for change is a concrete, rock solid, put my life on the line and kick my butt.... decision.
There is a common attribute that almost all successful people have. That attribute is habit. But not just any habit. The habits of success will bring success in your life.

Get on the raft.
Get into the water (with a map).
Be willing to get lost if that is the risk you face.
Be willing to get sent back to start to begin again if someone doesn't like you in their cushy territory.
RESPECT OTHERS WHO GET ON A RAFT, TOO.

Resistance can be a good thing. But it’s not a good thing when you are trying to achieve something. Resistance can be seen through behaviors such as procrastination and just negative thinking in general. Resistance can cripple any potential successes or be a blockade to keep successful living from flourishing.
How do you know if you’re resisting successful living?
Not rocket science....
Are you in the same place now you were in 3 months ago? 6 months ago? 1 year ago?
You are successfully achieving...resisting successful living.
Why would anyone want to resist successful living?
People are too comfortable to change. Evolution hasn't wired you to think past getting your genes passed on to the next generation and keep them alive until they are old enough to fly on their own.
There’s always a very reasonable question of the unknown element of success. On a nonconscious level there is an absolute terror of success. Sometimes that fear is paired with another...the fear of failure.
Which brings us to the next horseman...Fear.
