Habits shape our identity. Consistency in actions defines us. Neglecting rituals and routines creates more problems than bad choices, which can often be mitigated.
Your rituals and consistent habits transform desired behavior (who I want to be) into default (who I am).
Don’t get stuck overthinking decisions. Remember:
Most decisions are reversible. People return home after dreaming of moving overseas, remarry after divorce, and return to old careers or jobs.
You can choose to focus on and have confidence in your ability to course-correct if needed, rather than your ability to always make the “right” choice.
It's hard to overstate the consequences of living life by making conscious choices rather than following what we "should "do.
It's not obvious that going to college, getting married, getting a job, or having children is the most optimal, fulfilling life path for everyone on earth. There's certainly nothing wrong with doing any of these things, provided you made these choices intentionally rather than outsourcing them to societal norms.
Fulfillment comes when we live life by design, not by default.
