The quiet mistake
Most people aren’t defeated by bad decisions. They’re defeated by no decisions.
A student waits for clarity. A founder waits for timing. A leader waits for alignment. And the waiting feels responsible… until they realize they’ve handed the wheel to whatever tide happens to be passing by.
Drift is sneaky like that. It doesn’t feel wrong — it feels quiet. But quiet isn’t progress. It’s just the world choosing for you.
You don’t need the perfect choice. You need a choice. A line in the sand. A step that says, “this way,” even if you’re not totally sure yet.
Because action creates information. And hesitation just creates stories you’ll have to untangle later.
Pick something. Move toward it. Adjust as you go.
Clarity doesn’t show up first. Momentum does.
