Sliding Doors

There's a great article here on closing doors. On the way that people keep avoiding making choices that will close off their options, even if making that choice will clearly give them a better outcome.

I've been guilty of this an astounding number of times.

Still working on it :->

Edit:
Cheers also to [livejournal.com profile] diotina for this link to an New Yorker article on irrational decision making referencing the same author.
