It’s like having to cross some little torrent of water. You only know if you can make it when you have accelerated and are ready for the leap. You are not sure so you stop just in time non to fall in the water. You try again and again. So it is for every decision: you approach the water,: you are not sure and refrain. Every decision is an ordeal and you spend all your life in approaching and refraining. Some time you make it, but mostly you are paralyzed in insecurity. What an ordeal!

I deal with the same, except I usually make the leap. :)

I usually try to make what appears to be the best decision at the time.
