Decisions as a Peek behind the Curtain of Thought

When we talk about making a decision, it's possible that we're actually getting a glimpse into our habitual thinking. The state of not knowing, when faced with a decision, is simply a result of a lot of thoughts swirling around, evaluating various options. We tend to believe that we actively decide, but there are always factors preceding our apparent decision-making, like the thoughts that arise and the conditions that align to make a choice clear. We often attribute our decisions to external reasoning or logic, but scientific evidence suggests that the reasons we give are not always accurate. In reality, decisions may be more about realizing what is already possible and available to us. Rather than feeling the pressure of deciding, it can be liberating to recognize that everything is already there, obscured only by our clouded thinking.
