I see the good side of every option. So I don’t decide.

ASK WTFT

This representative question reflects a dilemma many people face.

Whenever I face an important decision, I find good reasons for every option.

Leaving my job could give me freedom but costs me security. Staying offers stability but may close other possibilities.

The more I analyse both sides, the less obvious the decision becomes. Months pass and nothing changes.

As a result, I never decide.


My perspective

Looking at both sides of a decision is healthy.

Nuance matters. WTFT is not about replacing one simplistic answer with another.

Our perspective on resilience illustrates this: resilience can help us move forward or keep us stuck, depending on what it enables us to continue.

Where I disagree is when you say: “I never decide.”

Every day you postpone the decision, you choose the status quo.

That may be the right choice. But it should be evaluated as an option, not treated as the neutral absence of one.

Ask yourself:
Would I consciously choose my current situation for another year?

If the answer is yes, stay deliberately.

If it is no, stop allowing the absence of a perfect alternative to decide for you.

Not deciding does not preserve every option. It gives the status quo more of your life.

Walk your talk,
Franck
