Did I do this right? It’s a question we all ask ourselves. The ability to choose right is borne out of practice.
What-ifs are always great for movies but not fun in real life. Having regrets is human. Having flaws is human. Being judgemental is human. We all judge. Whether we should or not is a long discussion and can get into the outer realm of arguments. But for good mental health, we need to give ourselves grace and not judge each other too harshly and make the right choices in life.
The truth is we judge ourselves strictly. Then we judge others by those same set of rules. That is great if it’s a math problem. But in humans the variables are many. We simply can’t use the same mould.In Charlie Munger’s advice is to be followed, we need frameworks for situations. For deciding what to do and what not.
He talks about saying “No” a lot.
While Gary Vee says “Say Yes”, a lot.
I say do what works for you in that situation. Plus whether you want to engage in a conversation is up to you at the beginning. When you get in too deep. Getting out is muddy.
But things that you care about will require you to take a stand. Both yes and no is a stand. Be careful because both should be your decision, not a proxy fight. Making your own choices are the hardest. You have to say the truth to yourself. Every step you take is a decision.
But don’t let me stop you from dancing on the way. Just go in with your eyes open, barriers set and claws sharpened. Because the way out is often a fight and rarely a waltz. Remember luck favors the brave and having an exit strategy will make you lucky.
