If we want to live a life with intent, it is more practical to make clear decisions and follow them relentlessly. Many times, we get distracted by shiny objects and tempting opportunities. Only later do we realise that many of them were traps—quietly draining our...

Our decisions are not entirely ours when others are affected by them—directly or indirectly, in the short term or the long term. When that happens, decision-making carries a moral responsibility: to be conscious of the consequences our choices may create for others....

Ten years from now, our biggest regrets will likely be the decisions we never made. Sitting on choices can feel safe—it gives short-term comfort and shields us from risk—but the true cost is invisible: lost time and missed opportunities. Think deeply about decisions...

Our decisions are the building blocks of our projects. If we make poor decisions, the outcome will likely be disappointing—or even embarrassing. On the flip side, good decisions lay the groundwork for success. It’s important to remember that decisions follow a...
