As I was reading The Art of Manliness: Classic Skills and Manners for the Modern Man by Brett McKay, I came across the following quote...
"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing." -- Theodore Roosevelt
The fear of making the wrong decision is worse than making the wrong decision. Indecision is a decision. Indecision is the worst decision. The fear of making the wrong choice can lead you to make the worst choice of all -- not choosing. In worrying too much about getting it wrong, you can guarantee the wrong choice by continuing to worry about it. Anxiously pondering the endless possibilities of each and every one of your options produces with ironic precision the worst of all outcomes.
