Boldness is such an underrated quality.
Life rarely unfolds exactly as we want it to. And our brains, molded to crave instant gratification, have a tendency to avoid losses more than seek gains.
It means we are more pessimistic than optimistic when it comes to decision-making. We are more sensitive about perceived negatives than potential gains.
To fight those primitive instincts, you have to separate the emotional connection to your decisions.
Lean in to objectivity and rationality.
