Are you familiar with James Clear?
You really need to check him out. He's not only thoughtful and thought-provoking, but he'll open doors for you to meet people and ideas you might otherwise never encounter. I get his newsletter in my e-mail inbox and it's full of gems, like these:
"I think about decisions in three ways: hats, haircuts, and tattoos.
"Most decisions are like hats.
Try one and if you don’t like it, put it back and try another. The cost of a mistake is low, so move quickly and try a bunch of hats.
"Some decisions are like haircuts.
You can fix a bad one, but it won’t be quick, and you might feel foolish for a while. That said, don't be scared of a bad haircut. Trying something new is usually a risk worth taking. If it doesn't work out, by this time next year you will have moved on and so will everyone else.
"A few decisions are like tattoos.
Once you make them, you have to live with them. Some mistakes are irreversible. Maybe you'll move on for a moment, but then you'll glance in the mirror and be reminded of that choice all over again. Even years later, the decision leaves a mark. When you're dealing with an irreversible choice, move slowly and think carefully."
"So people don't worry 'bout where you've gone wrong.
'Cause you know if you hurry it takes twice as long."
