Opportunity Costs

Hey there đź‘‹

Our lives are shaped by the choices we make.

Therefore, we should be careful how we decide, especially when those decisions could significantly impact our lives.

Currently, I am grappling with such a decision and I'm seeking greater clarity. I want to fully understand the potential consequences of my choice and identify any drawbacks.

In essence, I want to uncover its opportunity cost.

To illustrate the concept of opportunity costs, imagine you were faced with the decision of relocating to a new city.

If you moved, you might have less contact with your friends, or no way of getting that delightful margherita from your favorite pizza place anymore.

On the other hand, NOT moving might mean turning down the chance for a promising job or for beautiful nature close to your home.

However you decide, there is a hidden “cost” associated with picking one option over the other – missing out on the benefit of the choice(s) you didn’t pick.

If you have a bigger decision to make, this email is for you. Use it to get clarity about its consequences, positive and negative. (And if you don’t have such a decision to make right now, why not use the questions to evaluate a past decision and find out if you’d still make the same choice?)

Let's get started!
