Maturity is realizing that a boring good decision can outperform an exciting bad one.

The unexciting option with a decent chance of working usually beats the thrilling one that probably will not. This is obvious on paper and very difficult in practice, because boring choices provide no story and no rush while you are making them.

When weighing something, ask what the plain sensible version looks like and take it seriously rather than dismissing it as beneath you. Most good outcomes are built out of a long series of these, and none of them felt significant at the time.
