To be brutally honest, My life is a bit of a mess right now. So many HUGE changes have happened recently that I spend a lot of the day, Not knowing what to do with myself. Part of me wants to hide under a rock for a few weeks. But this is also one of the busiest times for my business, So there's also a lot of work to be done. I also don't want to get stuck, With these bad habits I've been indulging in recently (Soda drinking, Fast food, Laying around).

Recently, I've also had to make some pretty large decisions again.
I'm happy that I at least have choices here. Most of the life changes that happened recently were out of my control...
Then, of course, there are things that are in my control that has happened...
Two large opportunities to more than quadruple the size of my business, Getting a car And now learning how to drive.

So I'm pretty overwhelmed. Usually, I'm pretty decisive when it comes to big decisions. But lately, I've been indecisive.

Listen To Your Gut Instincts

I'm sure we've all had those moments where we failed to listen to our gut instincts, As A result things didn't work out the way we wanted them too.
I'm not saying that listening to your gut instincts is always the way to go, But a lot of time. It is.

Weigh The Risk & Rewards

This is why sometimes going with our brain is the best option. Our gut instinct may say "do it." But the reality is, there are more risk and fewer chances of reward.
This is a problem many have with gambling. I noticed that when I was watching a friend play at a casino.
My instincts kept encouraging me to put more money into the machine. But I ended up losing it all.
In this case, I should think of thought more logically, and my gut instinct failed me. The chances of you winning are incredibly small. Sure You still could, But Why risk your hard earned money?
I also noticed that deep down your brain has already decided on whether or not you want to pursue the opportunity. But for some reason you aren't always fully aware of it yet. I refer to that as the "lopsided" Pros and cons list. Many people suggest making a pros and cons list before making a decision.

To weigh the risk and rewards. While this can work to a certain extent. As each side of the list grows, Your brain starts having a bias on one side, and eventually, one side becomes significantly larger because your mind is already made up. Sometimes we want to do the opposing thing, But roadblocks such as fear, Are in the way. So we opt for the safer less difficult side.

Don't Think, Do

A lot of the time, We fail to listen to our gut instincts Because our brain comes in and gives us logical reasons to why we should, Or shouldn't do something. Not thinking about it, Prevents us from over thinking the entire situation.
We often go with what our brains are saying Because it seems logical. But sometimes we miss great opportunities from doing this.
When this happens with our brain, Sometimes it's better to just go with the harder, But potentially more rewarding opportunity. But again, Our brain sometimes wants us to go with the easier, Less demanding one. In this case, Force yourself to stop thinking about it, And start doing whats necessary to make the decision.
Often we CAN do those hard things, But we often don't. It's so much easier to stay home. And wish we were out doing those more difficult things. That's how you live a life of regret! Sure sometimes we mess up or embarrass ourselves. But we usually don't spend forever regretting it. Many of the people who saw us do the stupid thing Are random people that we may never see again. So who cares?

Things Will Never Be Perfect

We often make decisions when things seem "Perfect" The right amount of money; The right circumstances are set up.
But things will never be 100% perfect! You are better off just taking the opportunity whenever you can. Some opportunities don't come as often. And it's better to just take the risk anyways.
