Inspiration & Paradox 19: More is Less, Less is More.

We normally think that more options in life will make us happier, but a staggering array of options can actually bewilder, flood and tire our brains, causing stress in decision-making. And in a world of abundant choices, this could be about the goods we buy, jobs we apply, places to live, things to play, etc, etc, etc. When all the time we have to contend with “Was it a really a right choice? Did I make the best choice? How can I make the best possible choice out of these?”, we are suffering from what they call “choice anxiety”. Choice then becomes debilitating rather than liberating. It becomes a burden. Hence, just enough is good enough.
