Welcome to another issue of Mindsnack. 🚀

I just saw something that inspired me to dive into a topic that’s often overlooked: the speed of decision-making. 🧠💡

A lot of people put so much emphasis on making the "right" decision. Whether it’s choosing a career path, deciding on a relationship, or even picking a place to live, we can get caught up in overthinking. We weigh all the options, consider every possible outcome, and sometimes end up stuck in analysis paralysis. 🤔⏳

But what you need to know is, no decision is ever permanent. 🛑

The time spent hesitating or overanalyzing could actually be slowing you down from reaching your goals. When you make decisions faster, you create momentum. You start moving in a direction—any direction—and that movement itself opens up new opportunities. 🏃‍♂️💨

Example: Oprah Winfrey’s early career was marked by setbacks, including being demoted from her job as a news anchor. 📺 But if she hadn’t faced that setback, she might never have transitioned to daytime talk shows, where she found her true calling. That "wrong" decision to start in news eventually led her to become one of the most influential media personalities of all time. 🎤

And that’s the beauty of life: most decisions can be revised, improved, or entirely changed as you go along. 🔄

Quote of the Day: "Indecision is the thief of opportunity." — Jim Rohn 💬

Book of the Day: The Lean Startup by Eric Ries — A brilliant read emphasising the importance of taking action, learning from it, and iterating quickly. It’s a game-changer for anyone looking to move fast and make impactful decisions. 📚✨

Keep moving forward, and see you in the next episode! 👋
