A narrow path leading to the ocean – not too many options of where to go from here

Making decisions can be so overwhelming sometimes. When there are too many choices and possible outcomes it can be difficult to narrow it down to one.

The fear of missing out on something better is often at the root of indecision. Every time one choice is made, it leaves the other ones on the table. What if they were the correct ones? What if the one you picked was completely wrong?

The only thing to do when faced with multiple choices is to gather as much information as possible and then make a decision. Do something. If it doesn’t work out then there will be other options at that time.

Hopefully after you make the decision and see what happens after that, you learn from it and are in a better position to make wiser decisions going forward. Life is basically a process of trial and error.

Indecision

High tide in Puerto Rico – keep walking or turn back? Depends where you are trying to go

It’s so easy to see things clearly after the fact. Once the outcome is known, the result was never in doubt.

Except it was. There was enough uncertainty beforehand that perhaps you didn’t act in the manner you wish you had. This goes for everything, both betting and life in general.

We make decisions everyday based on information that may be lacking in many ways. It is difficult to always know the entire picture before we have to act. Of course, in hindsight everything makes perfect sense.

The Big Decisions

Everything changes, seasons come and go, and we make decisions every day. It’s all good

Making the big decisions in life, the ones that collapse multiple possibilities that are available down to just one, can be difficult. Beyond difficult actually. It can be almost paralyzing.

Should I quit my job, leave my relationship, get married, have kids, buy a house, go back to school, move across the country, move to a new country? These are all big decisions. They are big because they are life changing.

Any of the scenarios above would completely change your life from what it is now. The risk of making the wrong decision is what fills us with fear and conflict.

If only we could see into the future and know which decision will work out the best!

But wait – what if you knew that no matter which decision you make, which future path you choose, that it can’t possibly be wrong?
