Having a strong set of values, core beliefs, or principles can be both a blessing and a curse when making decisions.
The clearer our values/stronger our core beliefs, the more options we will easily be able to eliminate. Arguably, we will be able to make decisions that are more predictive to our happiness.
On the flip side, we will also have far fewer options from which to choose from. In places where such options are few and far between, this can be painful. For example, we will have fewer career options we’re excited about and will probably take longer to hire that right candidate.
Every strategy presents trade-offs.
No trade-offs, no strategy.
