Is decision-making something you're struggling with is it preventing you
from starting a new project or trying a new restaurant you see a new restaurant
in town and you go hmmm I really want to go to it but what if it's bad what if I
waste my money there what if I waste my time there what if I bring someone there
and it's unenjoyable as loud as a noisy and we have a bad time maybe we should
just go to a place we're familiar with that way we know what we're getting what
if I don't start the project what if I just continue living this life and
nothing bad will happen if this sounds like you and you feel like making
decisions is giving you anxiety it's stressing you out it's like for this
thing from exciting I have this sort of way to kind of try to reframe your mind
get you excited about making decisions so let's start with this have you ever
bought a lottery ticket have you ever um gambled like put money down on a
roulette table if you have you understand that feeling
that excitement you get that possibility is like oh man if I win
a double for money if I win the jackpot don't have to work ever again and you
fill yourself with that sum that excitement that possibility that like
anything can happen and you're really not gambling you're just buying that
feeling you're paying five dollars for a lottery ticket not so you could win
you're buying that little feeling you're buying that feeling you get
think to yourself what are the possibilities so I approached pretty
much all the decisions I have to make in day-to-day life whether it's big or
small in the same way I'm approaching it like I'm gambling I'm not a big gambler
I feel like money should be earned however I feel this gambling mentality
this possibility this mine frame is really great for helping me pursue
projects helping me expand your things to make decisions where I don't know
what the result will be but I enter it with that possibility that
when in a beer a if I go to this restaurant and it's awesome it's just
the best time ever I order something random from the menu and it's just the
best food ever I invite my friends they come and we just have an awesome time
it's the best way to spend however much money this restaurant costs and it's the
best way to spend two hours of my day I win so I go into that line frame the
best case scenario I'm placing a little bet right now that the best thing will
happen and you fill yourself with that same gambling feeling that same like I'm
putting my money down putting my time down to say okay it might suck but I bet
it won't I bet it's gonna be awesome I'm gonna start this project I'm gonna put
this amount of time into it I'm gonna put this amount of money into it and I
bet it's gonna work out I bet it's gonna be great so often we bet against
ourselves we think we got to go all-in on something but really we just need to
make these little bets I bet today if I spent 30 minutes
working spent 30 minutes writing I'll write something awesome
I bet today if I go to that networking event
I'll meet someone who would help me with my career
I bet today if I just go to the library I wander around
I'll find a book that would change my life and it's just these little
decisions these little bands to try something different
it's what makes a big difference so what if you think that and it doesn't work
out so high it's you're playing with house money
you've got so many chances so many chances to keep betting
and it's not like you're doubling down it's not like you're really losing
anything but it's all just that mentality that frame of mind that
attitude that you know what I believe in myself
I'm gonna put it my time and money right here and I bet that I will succeed
give it a shot let me know if this frame of mind helps you pursue a new project
helps you try something new go into it with a mindset of making a little bet
that this is gonna be awesome
