This week I had to make an unexpected decision. I was faced with a dilemma during the weekend, and for days I kept thinking about it, until Tuesday, when I finally decided to take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just as predicted (thanks Muriel!), as soon as the decision was made I started to feel much better, even though the situation was (and still is) quite complicated. At least I stopped the additional stress and suffering I was causing by running through certain scenarios, hesitating on what to do or not to do, and wondering whether I would regret it afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Searching for quotes on this topic, I found one by Theodore Roosevelt (who's also the author of one of my favourite quotes of all times<\/a>), that I completely agree with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.<\/p>Theodore Roosevelt<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How often in life do we get stuck in our doubts and indecision, paralyzed by an eternal \"what if...\"? And what's the point of continuing to feed those recurring thought loops? (This goes back to the topic of overthinking<\/a><\/em> that we spoke about a few wels ago).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally speaking, taking action is a better option, even if we don't have all the answers, even if the result turns out less than perfect; at least, we'll have done everything in our power to make progress towards a solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This reminds me of another phrase I absolutely love... Unfortunately, I don't know who the author is; I hope they can forgive me for not mentioning them (and I hope the meaning translates well into English):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- What are you taking for your headache?
- Me? Decisions!<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
