The ability to make a decision doesn’t require the absence of doubt or fear. Both vanish in the presence of responsibility, which emerges naturally in the presence of will. When we know what we truly want, the doubts that blur our decisions, the fears that make us succumb to luck and fate, all become secondary in the face of reason. That’s when we understand that our freewill and our options weren’t really there. We have created both by desire. The decision is basically conscience asking us to act on our subconscious desires.
