Here’s a hack that will help you take more risks.
Stop justifying any major decision/action in life, after you’ve already taken them.
Why?
When we justify our actions, we ease ourselves off the pain that makes us think if we could have done it better.
This pain is needed to make better decisions or to have the courage to do things in better ways next time.
Without this pain, we also tend to start thinking we always do the right things.
Without this pain, we develop a know-it-all attitude instead of a learn-it-all attitude, something that is detrimental to your success.
Without this pain, we live more happily, but less in pursuit of our dreams.
