Then leap

There aren’t too many decisions in any given year that, you know, actually make much difference. Not that most decisions aren’t important, it’s just that their only real use is to help you take the next step instead of sitting about at the junction petrified about which path to follow.

Each route looks pretty much the same, each one will get you where you’re going, it’s just a question in variation.

Once in a while though, there’s a yes-or-no risk-based pretty-damn-important decision.

If we do this … it changes our direction …

How to make those decisions:

– What’s our best understanding of the potential effects?

What’s the upside? What’s the downside? What do we know now and how can we fill in more blanks on we don’t know.

The remaining blanks are our leaps of faith.

Accept the leaps … make the decision … live with it.
