Let’s cut the crap. You’re here because you’re exhausted. Exhausted from replaying conversations, second-guessing choices, lying awake wondering: “Did I ruin my life today?” That promotion you took? The relationship you walked away from? The text you didn’t send?
What if I told you there’s no such thing as a “right” decision?
The Tyranny of Perfect Choices
We’ve all met them—the ”I Always Get It Right” people. The ones who smugly recount their flawless lives. Guess what? They’re either liars or monsters.
Here’s the truth: Life isn’t a multiple-choice test. It’s a wild, messy improv. And the moment you stop fearing “wrong,” you start living.
The Night I Burned My Moral Compass
Years ago, a friend agonized for months over leaving her corporate job. “What if it’s the wrong move? What if I fail?” I finally snapped: “What if you die tomorrow having never tried?”
She quit. Started a bakery. Failed. Then launched a food truck. Failed again. Now? She runs a nonprofit teaching refugees to cook.
“Wrong” decisions built her legacy.
Your New Decision-Making Protocol
- Ditch the Spreadsheet
Your brain isn’t Excel. Stop inputting pros and cons. Instead, ask: “Does this feel alive?” - Become a Human Sponge
Animal nature says: “This is mine.” Human nature says: *“This is *us.” Make choices that ripple beyond your ego. - Embrace the “Good Enough” Earthquake
The myth of perfection keeps you paralyzed. Next decision, whisper: “Let’s see what chaos creates.”
The Radical Test: Are You a Joyful Tyrant?
Check your pulse:
- If your “right” decisions leave corpses (relationships, joy, spontaneity)—you’re a dictator.
- If your “wrong” choices spark curiosity, connection, even good trouble—you’re human.
The Algebra of Alive-ness
Life = (Involvement)^2 – (Perfection)
The more you pour yourself into the messy middle—not the pristine outcome—the more life leans in.
Your Invitation: Wrong Boldly
Tomorrow, do this:
- Make a “Bad” Choice
Send the risky email. Hug the awkward colleague. Eat dessert first. - Watch the Ripples
Notice how “wrong” births unexpected allies, ideas, versions of you. - Repeat Until Free
Final Truth: The most dangerous prison isn’t failure. It’s the illusion of control.
Break out.
P.S. The next time doubt whispers, “But what if—?” laugh and say: “Exactly.”
