This resonates with me in a somewhat unexpected way - exposing a lack of self-confidence, or believing that any choice you make will automatically be worse. I have specific life circumstances that set that belief deep in my bones. I am working my way out of this lack of self-esteem, probably layered with some depression.

The most important value is in the depths of the thing once we have committed. This makes the commitment all that more important. Good or bad choice, the real value is uncovered with that further digging.

Maybe the question of what's the best thing to be doing is missing the point?
