Easiest Way To Decide

Making a tough decision can be paralyzing. We get stuck asking, "What should I do?" But what if the answer isn't about the right or wrong choice, but about the better story?

Think about it this way: Years from now, what story will you want to tell about this time? The choices we make become the moments we remember and the experiences we share. A good, interesting life is one full of these stories.


Every choice is a moment that shapes your personal history. Are you letting yourself take the most boring, predictable path? Are you just going through the motions? It's time to take control of your own story. Don't let indecision stop you from living.

The simple question to ask is: "Which choice would make for a more interesting story later on?" This approach cuts through all the noise. It helps you see beyond the immediate stress and makes the best choice obvious.


At the end of the day, you want to be able to look back on a life filled with pride and amazing memories. Don't settle for a forgettable story when you have the chance to create something great.

Choose the action that creates the best story. Your future self will be glad you did.
