Page 115 to often a risk evokes such a fear that we decide not to think about it or it’s consequences at all.

In the book
The first is paralysis. Chronic procrastinators live in quiet discontent because they will not make the call, and sitting on the fence eventually becomes more painful than any decision would have been. Often the engine of that paralysis is fear: a risk frightens us so much that we refuse to think about it or its consequences at all — which is the worst possible response. There are honest ways to break the freeze: picture the benefits vividly, plan yourself a small reward, deliberately amplify the downside of not acting, and ask why you are stalling five times until you hit the real reason. — Decisions & Choices (Decision/Choice/Focus/Forethought/Consequences)
