47: Indecision, Making the “Right” Decision, and Thoughts from an Enneagram 6

Send us a text

This episode is about the discomfort of indecision, how to relieve the pressure to make the “right” decision, fear and missed opportunities, and insights on being an Enneagram 6.
Key Takeaways

• Exhaustion from Indecision: Indecision can be exhausting and maddening. The constant vacillation between options can drain your energy and hinder progress.
• No Right Decision: There's no such thing as the "right" decision. Instead, making any decision helps create momentum and opens up new opportunities.
• Clean vs. Messy Decisions: Focus on making clean decisions—simple yes or no choices—without getting bogged down in the details of how to implement them.

Quotes

• "Exhaustion is probably the word that feels the most true when describing indecision."
• "A clean decision is a yes or a no. Do you want to do this? Yes or no."
• "The point of the leap itself, the point of quitting the job, of starting the business, of leaving the relationship, of moving to a new city, is to prove that you have what it takes to make a decision and go all in on it."
• “The kind of wild success that dreams are made of, that make you feel alive, the things that make you feel like, ‘Wow, I am living a full, vibrant, colorful experience,’ those things only come from a degree of uncertainty.”
• “Make your decisions based on what might create the most interesting outcome.”
• “There is a magic in making big decisions that transforms you into someone who can handle the things that flow from big decisions, the good things and the bad things.”
• “The obsession with choosing the right thing is missing the point. Choosing the right thing is missing the point. The point is to be a woman who chooses. To be the kind of person who decides for yourself and just does it.”
• “It almost never matters what they choose because life continues to unfold and new opportunities always come.”
