"L'absence d'alternatives clarifie l'esprit de manière incroyable"

Simplified Meaning:

When you don't have any other options to consider, it becomes much easier to make a decision and focus on what's in front of you. Imagine a person at a restaurant with a very long menu—choosing something to eat can be tough because there are so many dishes to think about. But if the menu has only one dish, the choice is simple and you don't need to spend time weighing different options. Historically, explorers like Christopher Columbus had one clear goal, which was to find a new route to Asia. This lack of alternative missions helped them concentrate all their efforts on that single purpose. In your daily life, if you have too many choices, it can be confusing and stressful. Simplifying your choices can help you stay focused and make better decisions. For example, when deciding what job to apply for, narrowing it down to one field you're passionate about can help you concentrate and succeed.
