The Most Important Question You Need To Ask Yourself

Choices ruin our productivity. It’s time to fight back.

Every single day, we wake up to a new array of endless options. So many choices. Some could turn into incredible opportunities. Some could shatter the success you’ve walked towards. Some would have little to no effect on your overall happiness.

Life feels complicated for this single reason. We have too many choices and end up wasting time over and over, looking for the better potential result.

Have you ever heard of someone who never made a single bad choice in his life? If you have, I’d like to know more about that person.

The reality of things is that the world is composed of so many potential actions and results we cannot ever hope to make the best choice.

This could be interpreted as a piece of bad news, but what it really means is no matter the decision we make, new ones will come, thus rendering the impact of each minimal.

What you’ll wear today will not impact your life much. What you write tomorrow will not change the world. What you read tonight will not be the best book of all time. Who you meet this weekend will not include the best people in the world.
