How to push past Self Doubt and be Decisive

You stop caring about making, what you perceive to be, wrong choices.

If you tippy toe through life trying your hardest to arrive safely at death, you will ending up hating your life.

Like a cartoon teacher once said, "Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy"...(I can't believe I'm dropping Ms. Frizzle quotes on TRP...SMH).

the only wrong choice is not making one

So to clarify, you don't have faith in yourself to be objective. Who do you trust to be objective about your decisions? Do you really think that someone else knows your problems, beliefs, and opinions better than you do?

Knowing that whatever you choose, if it was the wrong choice, you're strong enough to deal with the consequences.

I think I had a bit of an epiphany on the subject. In the end, I can never make a decision using information I don't have. In that regard, I just need to make the best choice the moment provides, then deal with the aftermath in the same way. Up to this point, my life has gone pretty well, so im sure I can handle anything thrown at me.

try "not giving a fuck". It's handy.

Ok: in all seriousness do not give a fuck about emotional pressures but life experience and intellect is how I manage to make the best decisions because I actually measure the risk & benefit then remove all the bad choices until there's just 1 left, or maybe 2-3 and just pick at random due to not giving a fuck.

I have no fears of making the wrong choice. To me that isn't even possible.

Accept that no matter the consequences of your choices, you can deal with them
There are few truly wrong choices
It is your life to live, wrong choices or not. Other peoples opinions mean little or nothing
Even a base line of analysis and thought should be enough to make a good decision. Most peoples intuitions are decent enough, you don't need to agonize about anything.
