These are excerpts from the author’s book “Deep,” which contains eight of his small books published in the form of Wisdom Literature covering different aspects of life: Facing troublemakers, dealing with pain, personal financial issues, gastronomy, reading, criticizing, inspiring, and feeling always good to go.

Series 2: You Are Always Good to Go.

Week 24: To Go with Hesitation

• When you are not certain about two or more options, remember that you might find the solution outside these options.

• It is good to finalize your decisions well before the deadline you have set. Your options become fewer and making decisions turns out to be harder with the rhythm of the countdown.

• Not every case of uncertainty should push you to worry. Hesitation requires attention when it lasts for a long time or frequently recurs.

• It is more effective to seek advice subsequent to thinking intensely about the subject, not immediately after you begin to hesitate making your decision about available and possible choices.

• Rushing to seek advice when hesitant to make a decision may provide more options that further confuse you. Slow down, and think carefully about what you really need advice on.

• It is OK to change your mind after making a decision, but be careful if you were already hesitant before that decision.

• When you are hesitant, remember that no decision is absolutely right. Do not be too afraid of mistakes if everything is relative.

• Knowing what you truly want is not always an advantage. When you find yourself getting more impulsive than usual, you sometimes need to reconsider your decision.

• Feeling overconfident could be more harmful than being hesitant. You tend to seek advice when hesitant. But when overconfident, you lack the sensors necessary to alert you of the need to stop or at least slow down.

• If 100 percent is perfection, then 120 percent is probably imperfection.
