You cannot keep every possibility alive without sacrificing commitment.

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Holding every option open means committing to none of them, and commitment is what produces almost everything worth having. Optionality feels like freedom and functions like paralysis, since the value of a path comes from having gone far enough down it to arrive somewhere.

Pick one thing and close the alternatives for a defined period. Six months, fully committed. You can revisit afterwards, and you will have something real to revisit with.
