Mental Models and Making Decisions You Don't Regret

There are no set or fixed good or bad decisions.

The same good decisions become bad decisions if they lead to failure, otherwise, they are lauded.

Too often, we skip the process and jump right to deciding. Maybe that’s due to a lack of time, resources, or knowledge— it doesn’t matter.

Whatever your reason is, it’s never an excuse to skip the decision-making process altogether. Because that’s the only way to become a bad decision maker— regardless of the outcome.

We can never predict the future, but we can make decisions we don’t regret.

If we focus on the thinking process, we will always know we did the right thing, so even a bad outcome will not lead to regret.

• Do not regret making mistakes, just learn the lesson and move on.
• Inaction is more serious than a bad decision.
• Life has suffering build-in at times, and worthwhile accomplishments take time, energy, and sacrifice.
