I just read an article in my real simple magazine that really resonated with me called "a (not so) sure thing". with the subtitle being " Can any of us be certain we are 100 percent right about anything? Life is less stressful, one writer has found, when we admit we actually just might be wrong about everything."
now, i don't usually go to real simple for my answers to life's deep questions. i was reading on how to declutter and i stumble on this cool article.
the author talked about Werner Heisenberg and his Uncertainty Principle..."which is the idea that you can determine the position of an object or the object's momentum with 99 percent accuracy, but you can't measure both without losing a degree of precision. In other words, even science can't always prove everything with 100 percent accuracy."
i am the most indecisive person. i agonize over every decision i make, taking every precaution to make the "right" decision. and then after making the decision, i constantly question whether i really made the best one...pretty stressful. and i'm not sure my worry and fret really does me much good. maybe i should make a decision/form an opinion knowing it is very possible that i might be wrong and i'll just have to deal with it. i think life would be much more enjoyable that way. i need to leave my perfectionistic tendencies to the side and just enjoy the things around me, mistake or not. (ha! much harder for this girl to do, but i think i'll try)

Kobie -
I was just thinking about blogging on the whole "desicion making" thing today. I am right with you on wanting to make the "right" decision. On the one hand I know it would be easier to just let go, but to put that into practice is another stroy all together.
Anyway - cool thoughts from real simple huh.
peace
