You accept

And then you commit yourself to live with your choice.

Then choice-supportive bias will kick in.

It will drive you to think that your choice is the best choice you could have ever taken. But deep inside of you, you know you just blew it, didn’t you?

And still you won’t change your choice. Even further, now you like it.

It is OK when we talk about an ice cream flavor, or the color of the shirt you are wearing today. But when we talk, for example, about your career or your spouse, things are more serious.

Also consider this: whenever we decide not to act upon anything we should, we are accepting it.
