How to know you're making the right decision

We all have a decision-making system. As humans and founders, we make thousands of decisiones everyday.

Maybe you're not aware of what system you use, but you do execute it.

The trick is to discover what it is so you can use it instead of being used by it.

I discovered that for me, knowing = feeling

I know I'm making the right decision existentially, not rationally.

The validation is manifested viscerally, rather than mentally.

And how do I know?

Because I feel peace.

Before making a decision, I lead an introspection exercise where I project each alternative in my mind and feel which scenario fills me with the most peace.

Now, finding peace doesn't mean it's the easiest decision... Many times it's quite the opposite.

But optimizing for peace has always worked for me because it helps me hold onto the intention while letting go of the outcome.

Go inside and find your signal.

Knowing it is a life saver.
