Stepping off the dock into a sailboat that’s rocking is the whole lesson: commit to the step or fall between.

Half-committed movement is what puts people in the water. The gap between dock and boat is not dangerous; the danger is a body with its weight in two places while it decides. Once you have started, your weight has to arrive somewhere, and hesitation is just refusing to say where. Committing is not bravado here, it is the mechanics of the thing.

Look for the half-steps in your week. The message you drafted and did not send, the plan you agreed to without agreeing, the apology with a condition on it. Finish one of them properly.
