NOTE

Navigating Decision-Making Through Emotions and Rationality

Indecisiveness often stems from the conflicting desires for closeness and rationality, making it challenging to determine what is truly best. Awareness of mental afflictions can lead to insights that complicate prior confidence in decision-making. Many people inflate the significance of their choices, forgetting that most decisions are reversible. Understanding that what feels good can be a valid basis for decision-making reinforces the idea that emotional responses play a crucial role in prioritizing options. Emphasizing that life is dictated by 'vibes' suggests one should embrace emotions in the decision-making process, rather than solely relying on rational analysis. Accepting that not all outcomes can be predicted allows individuals to make choices more freely, especially when those choices can be revisited or adjusted later.
