206 - Friday Fix: How to Make Wise Decisions

We all make poor decisions sometimes. But we often blame those bad decisions on not having enough information. And while that may be a factor, there’s another factor that often comes into play–we aren’t balancing our emotions with logic. 

Emotions should play a role in our decisions. But, if they play too big of a role, we’ll make poor choices.

Logic should also play a role in decision making. But if we base our choices on logic alone, we’ll also make mistakes.

We make our best decisions when we balance logic with emotion. That can be tough to do though.

Fortunately, this is a skill that everyone can learn. And as we sharpen our skills, we get better at making wise decisions.
