On an Effective Way to Make Decisions

An effective way to make decisions: if it’s not a definite yes, it’s a definite no.

Usually, when the answer is a real yes, our body feels it from the inside — a rush of energy, or a wave of calm and relief washing over us. The compromises — “maybe yes,” “a little yes,” “yes for now” — often just clutter our lives and leave us with harder decisions to make down the road.

If it’s not definitely yes, it’s definitely no.
