In times of big decisions, how do we have the courage to make them? Here’s my answer: Accept that we will never have enough time, enough data, or enough certainty to make the perfect decision. We have to come to terms with our own imperfections and act anyway, with the best information we have. If a definition of courage is lurking in here, this is where it is: Decide “as if” you know for sure, and take action.
