Why You Can’t Overthink Your Way to the “Best” Decision
Let’s clear something up real quick:
Overthinking does not mean you’re being careful. It means you’re trying to eliminate risk before you move. And that’s not how growth works.
“The best” decision is a myth your brain invents to keep you safe and still. Because if there’s a perfect choice out there, then you’re justified in waiting for it.
Here’s the truth:
- Clarity comes after action
- Confidence is built by moving, not thinking
- Most successful people didn’t choose “the best” option — they chose a good enough one and committed
Overthinking is just fear dressed up as intelligence.
And listen… fear isn’t bad. But letting it drive? That’s expensive.
Not choosing is still a choice. And it usually costs you time, money, and self-trust.
👉 New rule: Stop asking “What’s the best choice? ”Start asking “What’s the next aligned step I can take today?”
Momentum beats perfection. Every single time.
