The importance of making decisions and the common mistake of not making them
One of the most common regrets people have is not taking risks and not trying things they've always wanted to. Not making a decision is, in fact, a decision itself. Conventional wisdom suggests that money and love should be approached differently, with logic for money decisions and emotions for love decisions. However, this approach overlooks the fact that big decisions often involve both money and love. By using a structured framework, such as the 5 C's (Clarify, Communicate, Choices, Check-in, and Consequences), individuals can access both their logical thinking and emotions to make more informed decisions.
