Note 2: What Makes Decisions Heavy
Most people arrive thinking they’re deciding between options.
They’re not.
They’re deciding whether to accept responsibility for a direction that’s already clear.
That’s why decisions often feel heavier than they look on paper. The surface choice is usually simple. The consequence beneath it is not.
People say they’re stuck between two paths. What they’re really stuck between is certainty and accountability.
Once you choose, you can no longer pretend you didn’t know. You can’t keep gathering input. You can’t hide inside possibility.
So the mind creates decoys.
It turns the decision into a research project. It reframes responsibility as prudence. It confuses delay with discernment.
When you strip that away, most decisions collapse quickly.
Not because they were easy. But because they were never about choice itself.
They were about ownership.
