作者很害怕自己做决定，为此爷爷提供了一些建议。
1. make a mistake 2. because 3. Luckily 4. take away 5. better

【解析】
1. 空格前为不定式符号to，后接动词原形，结合前文“害怕做出错误选择”的语境，选用短语make a mistake，表达“不想犯错”的含义。
2. 空格后为原因状语从句，选用连词because，解释自己存在决策恐惧的原因。
3. 空格位于句首，修饰整个句子，需将形容词luck变为副词Luckily，作状语表示“幸运的是”。
4. 空格前为助动词don't，后接动词原形，结合语境选用短语take away，表达“不会夺走我们其他的机会”的含义。
