Stephen Murray’s Post

"It feels good to act! It removes ambiguity, uncertainty, and is satisfying. When a choice is made, our bodies chemically reward us for having acted. Decisiveness and quick action are features we value in leaders and it is fun. Ambiguity, uncertainty, and patience are not.' I'm in a seat right now where I can't always take an action. It creates anxiety and double-mindedness as I questions past decisions. I agree with Garrison that much of that desire to move is a desire to have the dopamine hit caused by taking action. Do I really need to make that decision, or do I just want to check an item off my list and feel accomplished? Have I invested poorly, or am I just looking for the "next big thing". I'm not an everyday investor. I don't analyze portfolio's and purchases (like the incredible Mr. Snell does), but I think this conversation applies to life in many aspects. I invest my time, effort, and money into my marriage, my job, my mental and physical health, and much more. James 1:6 talks about a person that asks God for wisdom and then waffles back and forth. I don't want that to be me. Thanks for a poignant reminder.
