Dearly beloved in Christ

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

“But Godliness with contentment is great gain.” (1 Timothy 6:6). There are two main types of decision-makers. In his book “The Paradox of Choice,” Barry Schwartz distinguishes between two kinds of deliberators: Maximizers and Satisficers. People tend to lean toward one of two categories: 'maximizers', who want to ensure they get the most out of the choices they make; Maximizers accept only the best possible option. and 'satisficers', who tend to adopt a ‘this is good enough’ approach. Satisficers accept an option that meets their standards. The terms “maximizing” and “satisficing” were coined in 1956 by economist and psychologist Herbert A. Simon. Each comes with benefits and drawbacks. If you are a maximizer, you are likely to weigh choices carefully to assess the best. On paper, their decisions may look like the most logical or efficient, since they have spent so much time deliberating possibilities and potential results.
