At Some Point, You Gotta Pick A Horse

At Some Point, You Gotta Pick A Horse

Life can never be a zone of neutrality.  And in the midst of healthy discussions and debates, we would sometimes come across parties who would be buying time before they make up their minds to formulate a specific decision.  That 'WAITING GAME' can only wait for so much because At Some Point, You Gotta Pick A Horse.  And frankly, in life, there will be many instances when we reach decision points which can only wait so much.  As a first person account, I have witnessed close friends and relatives who took their own sweet time in the name of prudence and caution💎💎💎

Chocolate or strawberry?  BLACK PINK or BTS?  Life or death?  We make some choices quickly and automatically, relying on mental shortcuts our brains have developed over the years to guide us in the best course of action.  Understanding strategies such as maximizing versus satisfying, fast versus slow thinking, and factors such as risk tolerance and choice overload can lead to better outcomes   At Some Point, You Gotta Pick A Horse💊💊💊

When making a decision, we tend to form opinions and choose actions versus mental processes which tend to be influenced by biases, reason, emotions and even memories.  That simple act of deciding supports the notion that we have FREE WILL.  We weigh the costs and benefits then cope with the decision's consequences⏳⏳⏳

So, what kind of decision should we all make?  It should be INFORMED DECISION which, briefly, it is that ability to think critically because that is key to making decisions without easily succumbing to the very common errors or bias.  This mean, NOT just going with your GUT but rather figuring out what knowledge you lack and obtaining it✅✅✅

So how do we choose between two or more options that seem equally appealing on the surface?  That would entail a mixture of INTUITION and RATIONAL THINKING, critical factors including personal biases and blind spots which are often unconscious, which then makes decision-making hard to fully operationalize or get a handle on.  At some point, YOU GOTTA PICK A HORSE.  Just DON'T wait way too long❗❗❗
