Conviction. I've wondered where it stems from. The power to follow through. What is in it? Why does it seem to hit some people sooner than others, and how does it even look like? Needless to say I in have an important decision to make but I remain unconvinced even to myself, making things far more complicated than they should be.

I try to take queues from those who have gone ahead and sometimes I ask people questions like 'How are you so sure?'. Of course the answers are different for different people but it certainly helps to at least know what others are doing when the steps become unclear. I also don't know what to do with answers like 'you just know' when I ask questions. One of my biggest fears is making the wrong choice or a choice of desperation over an important decision.

Yet at some point a choice will have to be made. Not just that, but for me once a choice is made them am obligated to follow through no matter what. There is no turning back from it and certainly no easy escape route. Hence the justification of great caution associated with making an important choice. I certainly take my time and think things through, but sometimes I believe I overthink which itself becomes a net negative in the long term.

With the risk associated with overthinking it seems logical to simply make a choice and decide to stick with it. Maybe that's the way to go. But is a wrong choice truly better than nothing choice at all? I don't have an answer to that.
