Choice — You Love It & You Hate It

Choice: a privilege or a burden?

Many humans on this planet would die for the freedom of choice.

At the same time, many people feel paralyzed by having too many choices to make and too many options to choose from.

Too many options often equals too much confusion.

Sometimes choosing between only two equally attractive (or unattractive) options can turn your life into a nightmare, e.g. when you’re offered two great jobs, or you‘re dating two amazing people.

Presented with both options:

  • You may want both of them and can’t let go
  • You may not know what you want

What can you do in such moments?

Quiet your mind. Breathe deeply. Listen to your body — it’s never confused.

It’s the mind that likes to make things complicated and suffers from the fear of missing out (FOMO).

Thoughts?
