You have a big decision to make—maybe it’s a career move, a relationship shift, or a health goal—and you just... waffle. You stall. You wait for a sign that never comes. Most people think they have a "decision-making problem." But I’m here to tell you that’s not it. What you actually have is a Value Clarification problem . When you don't know what you stand for, every choice feels like a form of torture. But when your highest principles are crystal clear, the "right" move becomes as obvious as a lighthouse in a storm.
