“More is lost through indecision than wrong decision.” - Cicero

In the 4th Quarter, this truth hits harder than ever.
A wrong decision gives you feedback. 
It teaches you something. 
It moves you forward.

Indecision? 
It leaves you stuck, 
staring at the clock, 
wondering what if.

For too long, many of us were taught to play it safe. 
Follow the well-worn path. 
Don’t take risks. 

But here’s the reality: in a 40-year career, most wrong turns are recoverable. 
You can bounce back from a poor choice. 
You can’t get back wasted years.

In the 4th Quarter, the urgency is real. 
The clock is ticking louder. 
The cost of hesitation feels greater. 

This is the moment to bet on yourself. 
Whether it’s a career shift, starting a side hustle, or a personal change.
Do that “thing” you always wanted, but are paralyzed by indecision.

Talk to an 80- or 90-year-old and they’ll tell you the same thing: regret is the heaviest burden. 
And when there’s no time left on the clock, it’s not the wrong decisions that haunt people. 
It’s the choices they never made.

Me? I’d rather live with wrong than die with regret.
