The art of trigger-pulling

There are a variety of decisions that we’re called to make all the time; some are very easy and some can be quite challenging, and almost feel impossible. Logically, good information helps make good decisions, but what are we to do when information is sketchy, when there are no reliable facts available or when that gut-wrenching decision must be made on a best-guess, intuition or toss of a coin basis? In these later circumstances, “pulling the trigger” is not just a simple “cowboy feat,” it’s something really hard, but that has to be done as it breaks up the deadlock and brings a strong feeling of relief. It may not be perfect – in fact, it seldom is – but it’s been done and this move makes all the difference between indecisiveness and progress. It just takes as much information as can be possibly gathered within a reasonable and practical timeframe, and that’s it! No turning back and no second-guessing anymore…
