Important decisions are scary. We may fear the consequences, the uncertainty of an unknown outcome, the FOMO.
Also, many of us focus only on the supposed outcome and not on the journey that a specific decision can generate for us. They focus on the "what", not on the "how" or the "why".
That way, it's difficult to know where we are headed with the decision we are about to take.
[Another way to think about this question is:
"What's the most precious treasure I have
and how I am going to protect it?]
Knowing what is non-negotiable and how we are going to protect what's non-negotiable to us provides us with a blueprint for every decision. This way, we always know what we can compromise on and what is out of the question, what can be a possibility and what we would for sure regret in the long run, what is worth the effort and the discomfort, and what we can let go of.
When in doubt, let's look for what's non-negotiable.
"How do you protect what is non-negotiable to you?"
