Most men don’t fail because they make the wrong decision.
They fail because they never make one.
We live in an age of endless options—jobs, cities, relationships, investments. But more choice hasn’t made us freer; it’s made us stuck.
Indecision is the silent killer of progress.
This week, we’re riding shotgun with Aristotle to cut through the noise and move with clarity.
🔎 Why Indecision Eats You Alive
We like to pretend indecision is “careful thinking.”
Truth? It’s emotional avoidance.
Fear of regret.
Fear of choosing wrong.
Fear of closing doors.
But as Aristotle warned:
“A man who has doubts and deliberates endlessly is like a beast with two heads.”
Indecision doesn’t protect you.
It paralyzes you.
🛠 5 Tools to Decide Faster (Backed by Aristotle)
1. Deadline Halving
Think you need a week? Give yourself three days.
“Well begun is half done.”
2. Lead with Values
Freedom, security, growth—define your top three, and choose what aligns.
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
3. Future-You Mapping
Look 1, 5, 10 years ahead. Which path pulls you closer to your vision?
“The soul never thinks without an image.”
4. The ‘Even If’ Mindset
Stop asking what if I fail? Start asking: even if I fail, how do I adapt?
“The ideal man bears the accidents of life with dignity and grace.”
5. Action Over Analysis
You don’t think your way into clarity—you act into it.
“For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.”
🗝 Final Rule: Decision ≠ Outcome
You control the choice, not the result.
Make the best decision possible, then release the outcome.
Or as Aristotle said:
“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”
⚡ Challenge for the Week
