I was heading to visit my alma mater and wasn’t sure which route was best to take so I asked my GPS. It turns out that one route was 2 hours and 47 minutes and the alternative was 2 hours and 46 minutes! No wonder I couldn’t easily determine which way to go.
I think many things in life are just like this — indistinguishable — yet we waste time and energy trying to decide between options that are essentially the same. It makes no difference if you choose A or choose B — so pick one and roll with it. To drive this way or the other? To wear brown pants or navy ones? To have Mexican for dinner or Italian?
If there isn’t a clear difference — and so often there is not — save your mental capacity to evaluate the choices that really matter.
