When you have nothing to lose, decisions are swift, purposeful, and authentic. There is no need to confer with others or to save face. You can trust your intuition or rely on your basic instincts. No buffering. No further deliberations. No analysis paralysis.
Of course, your actions still have consequences. After all, you are responsible for your decisions. Choice demands accountability. Since you acted on your own volition, there is no one else to blame for the outcome but yourself. Perhaps this is where the problem lies.
The hesitation comes from the fear of causing your own misery. It is easier to think that you are the victim of external forces than to confront your values and intentions. But when you have nothing to lose, indecision is already suffering. Worse, making decisions based on other people's opinions or on societal pressures is relinquishing freedom, accepting ignorance, and wasting life.
