The Hardest Part About Decision Making

The hardest part about decision making is that you already know the answer.

It’s always down there, inside you somewhere. You know it. And somehow, you know you know it.

Finding it, being honest about it, and sticking with it despite all the noise and confusion and arguments about more complex alternatives and concerns over reputation and fears over your future is the hard part.

That fact that you already know means you can’t defer to or rely on or blame anyone else. You’ve gotta find it. Listen to it. And act on it. Without shame or remorse.
