The Myth of the Perfect Decision

If you’ve been stuck circling the same choice for weeks (or months), you’re not alone.

This is one of the most common places clients land in:
“I just want to make the right decision.”
But behind that desire is usually something deeper… the belief that there’s a perfect choice — one that guarantees clarity, certainty, and zero regret.

That belief will keep you stuck every time.

There is no perfect decision.

There is only the decision that’s most aligned with who you are right now.

And the truth is, some clarity only arrives after the choice is made.

We want a guarantee before we leap.
But growth doesn’t come with guarantees.
It comes with a willingness to choose and adjust as we go.

If you’re struggling to decide, try asking yourself:

🌿 What would I choose if I wasn’t afraid of getting it wrong?

This question helps you surface what you actually want, not just what feels “safe.”

🌿 What feels most like me — even if it scares me?

We often avoid the truest path because it feels unfamiliar.
But your discomfort isn’t a red flag. It might be a sign that you’re finally moving toward alignment.

🌿 If regret is part of being human, what choice would I rather make and grow from?

No path is regret-proof.
What matters is whether it brings you closer to your values, your voice, your truth.

The goal is not a flawless decision.

It’s a courageous one.

You are capable of choosing, even in uncertainty.
You are allowed to move forward without full clarity.
And you are allowed to change your mind later.

That’s what growth looks like.

If you want support making a decision that feels grounded, aligned, and real, I’d love to help.
