Decide, Then Trust
Overthinking keeps you on the runway. Trust helps you take off.
“The risk of a wrong decision is preferable to the terror of indecision.” – Maimonides
Good Morning. How much energy is wasted in indecision? We think we’re being careful, but often we’re just afraid. The truth is, no choice guarantees certainty - but not choosing guarantees stagnation. Progress begins not with the perfect decision, but with any firm one made in alignment with your values.
Confidence doesn’t precede decisions; it follows them. Once you decide, your energy shifts from anxious scanning to steady momentum. Trust isn’t blind - it’s brave. It’s what happens when you commit to learning as you go.
There’s freedom in owning your choices, even when they don’t work out. At least then, you’re steering the ship - not drifting with the tide.
Today’s Challenge
Make one decision you’ve been avoiding. Write it down and give yourself permission to move forward.
