At Some Point, You Have to Decide

There comes a point in every creative project when more thinking stops helping.

You’ve researched.

You’ve experimented.

You’ve revised.

You’ve considered the alternatives.

You’ve asked for feedback.

And eventually, you have to decide.

Which version stays.

Which idea goes.

Which direction you follow.

Which one you leave behind.

Good creative work requires thought.

But it also requires commitment.

You won’t always know that you’ve made the perfect decision.

You only need enough judgment to make the best decision you can with what you know—and then move forward.

Indecision can look like carefulness.

Sometimes it’s simply fear wearing a thoughtful disguise.
