Pulling the Trigger

Decision making is hard. Climbing the whole mountain is impossible.

Decision making becomes much harder when we only make monumental decisions that we have to marry for the rest of our lives. As some call it, pulling the trigger.

The issue is that most of the time we should be making tiny decisions that we can undo just as fast as we did them. We make a hundred tiny decisions and they all add up to create a mass and momentum that are what we were truly trying to achieve all along. We never pull the trigger.

Pulling the trigger fires the gun, you can never unfire a gun. Pulling the trigger can kill something. Pulling the trigger is terrifying, so why do we continuously put ourselves in the position to have to?

Want to get in shape, lace up some shoes you already own and go for a walk, don't pull the trigger on a $500 gym membership. Want to change careers, go volunteer for a day doing something you might be passionate about, don't pull the trigger on your job.

So go out there today and don't make a big decision, just dip your toe, it's a lot easier than jumping in.
