When You Can't Decide

Whichever you choose,
the path you take
becomes the right one.

Reading Column

I don't want to fail.

I don't want to regret.

So I can't choose.

But not choosing is also

a choice in itself.

You're torn because both options are good.

When You Can't Decide

Stop looking for the right answer

There's no right answer from the start.

You make the path you chose the right one

through effort and dedication.

Trust your gut,

and just jump in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How do I know if I'm making the right decision?

You can't — and that's liberating. Research shows that people who make 'good enough' decisions are happier than those who endlessly optimize. Decide, then make it right.

Q. What if I regret my choice?

Regret is almost always about inaction, not action. Studies consistently show people regret the things they didn't do far more than the things they did.

Q. Should I follow my head or my heart?

Neuroscientist Antonio Damasio found that emotion is essential for good decision-making. Your gut feeling is your brain processing information your conscious mind hasn't caught up to.
