Hi, I’m Hina Hamilton, and if there’s one thing I’ve struggled with, it’s making decisions. I can easily spend 20 minutes trying to decide whether to have toast or cereal for breakfast. My friends sometimes tease me about it, saying I’m too careful or that I overthink things. And they’re not wrong.
I wasn’t always this way. There was a time when I could make decisions without second-guessing myself. But as I grew older, the choices seemed to multiply—from what to wear to which TV show to watch. Each decision felt heavier, as if every choice carried more weight than it actually did. I found myself caught in a cycle of overthinking, analyzing every possible outcome, and worrying about what could go wrong. This overthinking started to seep into all areas of my life, leaving me paralyzed by even the simplest of choices. I became so afraid of making the wrong decision that I often ended up making no decision at all, which only fueled my indecisiveness further.
One day, I was facing yet another decision that had me stuck. I had to choose between two nearly identical shades of blue for my living room walls. It sounds trivial, but it felt overwhelming. That’s when I stumbled upon something that changed the way I approached decisions—a simple Yes or No Wheel. It seemed like an easy way to make quick decisions, and honestly, I needed something to help me break out of my indecision.
I started using it for small things, like whether to order sushi or what to watch on TV. It took the pressure off and helped me move forward without getting bogged down in doubt. But then, a much bigger decision came along: a job offer in a new city—same company, but far away from everything I knew and loved. The opportunity was exciting, but the thought of leaving my friends and the comfort of my routine was daunting. I spent days going back and forth, unable to decide.
In a moment of desperation, I turned to the Random Yes No Wheel for random decisions to give me my answer again. I asked if I should take the job and make the move. When the wheel landed on "Yes," it was like a weight had been lifted. I decided to trust it—and myself—and accepted the offer.
Now, a few months later, I’m settling into my new city. The job turned out to be everything I hoped for, and I’m slowly finding my way. I’ve made new friends, found a cozy apartment, and even discovered a great little coffee shop. The bus routes are still confusing, but I’m getting there. Looking back, I realize that sometimes, we just need a little push to get out of our own way.
Along the way, I also tried out another tool: the Truth or Dare Wheel, which added a bit of fun and excitement to social gatherings with my new friends.
"What I’ve come to understand is that there are no inherently wrong decisions. Every choice we make is a step forward, even if it doesn’t lead exactly where we expected."
Even when a decision doesn’t turn out as planned, it doesn’t mean it was the wrong one. It’s through those unexpected outcomes that we grow, learn, and discover new opportunities. Sometimes, the path we take might be challenging or different from what we envisioned, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong. It’s just a different kind of right—a right that leads us to where we need to be, even if we didn’t know it at the time.
