As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.

— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Much of the paralysis around big decisions is not a shortage of information. It is the suspicion that you cannot rely on your own read of things, so you keep gathering opinions, and each additional one makes the picture murkier rather than clearer. Once you credit your own judgement, most questions that felt impossible turn out to have answers you already knew.

Self-trust is built rather than declared, which is the honest part. Start with small calls where being wrong costs little, make them without consulting anyone, and keep track of how they turned out. Evidence that you are usually right is what eventually makes the larger decisions possible.
