Decision making is daunting. In the past, I have struggled in my decision-making skills because I always feared regretting my final decision, or worse yet, making the wrong decision. There is no reversing it once it’s decided, right?
But as I matured (ahem, grew older), I cleansed myself of the guilt and worry. Once I made a decision, I never looked back, passing along this mantra to my children because decision-making is so darn difficult. No need for the extra burden in life.
Now the older, wiser version of myself can make big decisions like a boss. Time to move? Done. Sell your home
and buy a new home? Check. Furnishing, establishing, and maintaining a new home while closing out on the old homestead? No problem. I don’t need to see things more than once, labor over what furniture I want to take with me, fret over furnishing my new abode, or spend too much time dawdling over a settlement date.
