Having options is valuable until maintaining them prevents commitment.

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Optionality has real value, and it also has a bill. Every possibility you keep alive takes some upkeep, some attention, some part of you held in reserve, and a life spent staying ready is a life in which nothing is ever fully begun. At some point the value moves from having options to using one.

Ask what you are keeping open and what it is costing to keep. If the answer is that you are waiting for certainty, that is not a plan. Choose one and give it a real season.
