"If you're faced with a difficult choice, such as:

Should I marry this person?

Should I accept this job?

Should I buy this house?

Should I move to this city?

Should I go into business with this person?

If you find it hard to decide, the answer is no. The reason is that modern society is full of choices, with thousands upon thousands of options. We live on a planet of 7 billion people, we are connected to everyone on the internet, and there are thousands of careers in the world for us to choose from. In this vast world with so many people, there is never a shortage of choices.

Throughout history, physiological limitations have determined that humans cannot realize just how many choices they actually have. In ancient tribes, 150 people was the limit for operation and collaboration. When a person appeared in your life, that person might have been your only potential partner.

A major decision can affect the trajectory of your life for the next decade, or even decades. Starting a business might take 10 years. A romantic relationship could last 5 years or even longer. Moving to a city could mean living there for 10 or 20 years. These decisions will have profound consequences. One cannot be absolutely certain, but we must be very sure before making a decision.

Sometimes we really struggle to decide, even needing to make a list to compare and weigh the pros and cons of different options. Just give up. If it's hard to decide, the answer is no."
