Poison Arrow | Life

A good decision now is better than a perfect one tomorrow.

A man is struck by a poisoned arrow. Instead of letting a healer remove it, he demands to know:
Who shot the arrow?
What kind of wood was it made from?
What was the poison?

While he obsesses over these questions, the poison spreads, and he dies.

The lesson? Sometimes, seeking endless answers is the distraction—not the solution.

We often delay action by overanalyzing:
“I need to research more before starting my business.”
“I’ll wait until conditions are perfect to pursue my passion.”
“What if I fail? I need a foolproof plan first.”

Two things to remember.
1. Start before you feel ready.
2. Stop asking “Why me?” and focus on “What now?”

Life’s “arrows” will hit you—setbacks, doubts, failures. Don’t waste time on questions that don’t move you forward. Pull the arrow, take the next step, and keep going.

What’s one thing you’ve been overthinking that you can act on today?

I’ll be back with more next week.

Stay tuned.
