Capricorn
It's a very Greek idea, and a very profound one. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it. And what could be more terrifying and beautiful, to lose control completely? To throw off all the chains of being for an instant, to shatter the accident of our mortal selves?
Donna Tartt
The work decision you have been avoiding is not actually about the choice itself but about accepting what you already know to be true. You have been collecting information and seeking advice as a way of delaying the moment when you stop asking other people what they think and start acting on what you think. The delay has its own cost, and that cost compounds daily in small ways that add up to a larger exhaustion than the original decision would have required. What feels like careful consideration has become a way of avoiding the responsibility that comes with choosing, and choosing means owning whatever follows.
