The bold decision is not always moving forward; sometimes it is refusing momentum in the wrong direction.

Momentum can carry you competently in a direction you never chose. Stopping something that is going well by every visible measure takes more nerve than continuing, because there is no crisis to point to and no external permission to stop. The brave act looks like refusal rather than advance.

Ask whether anything in your life is continuing mainly because it is already moving. Not failing, just not yours. If so, consider what it would take to stop, and notice how much of your reluctance is about explaining the stop to other people rather than about the thing itself.
