I heard this quote today while watching @modelstrangers on YouTube interview an eighty-eight-year-old gentleman, and it stopped me for a moment. It was so sweet — simple, real, and full of heart. I really enjoy his channel because he sees people. He listens, he loves them, and it shows. Watching his videos makes me happy.
Hearing that quote — “More is lost by indecision than wrong decision” — made me pause. It made me want to take it one step further.
The Quiet Cost of Indecision
There’s a quiet kind of loss that rarely gets counted — the dreams that never began, the words never spoken, the doors we never opened because we were waiting for the “right” moment.
We often fear making the wrong choice, so we stall. We overthink, replay, and analyze. But the truth is simple and sobering: more is lost by indecision than by wrong decision.
Indecision isn’t safety. It’s surrender — not to wisdom, but to fear. It keeps us circling what could be instead of stepping into what might become. Each time we wait for absolute certainty, we trade possibility for paralysis.
You learn far more from a step in the wrong direction than from standing still. At least a step gives you perspective. Stillness, when driven by fear, gives you nothing but regret.
Progress Requires Motion
Decisions create momentum. Even imperfect choices can lead to beautiful outcomes when made with faith and humility.
Growth doesn’t happen because every choice is flawless — it happens because you chose at all. Because you dared to move forward, to risk being wrong, to believe that correction is easier than resurrection.
Faith doesn’t erase uncertainty; it just gives you the courage to act anyway.
Becoming More Starts with Choosing
You were never meant to live half-alive, waiting for proof before moving. You were meant to create it — step by step, choice by choice.
So today, give yourself permission to decide. Choose the path that aligns with who you’re becoming, not just who you’ve been. Choose the risk that awakens your courage, not the safety that numbs it.
💡 Action Step:
Write down one decision you’ve delayed because of fear or doubt. Then, set a small action you’ll take this week to move toward it. Momentum begins the moment you do.
A Gentle Reminder
Every decision — even the uncertain ones — can become sacred ground when made with a willing heart. Trust that grace meets movement. Trust that The Lord can guide Thy steps even when the way ahead feels unclear.
Becoming more isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress born of faith, courage, and the quiet confidence that you’re being led toward something good.
So, keep choosing. Keep moving. Keep becoming.
