Every decision I make helps shape my destiny.

A footpath splits and both branches look identical for the first hundred metres. That's what makes the choice so hard to take seriously while you're standing at it.

Most destiny-shaping decisions come disguised as minor logistics. Which class, which town, whether to reply. The consequential ones rarely feel consequential from inside.

Which argues for a lighter touch rather than a heavier one. If everything matters enormously, nothing gets chosen. Decide reasonably, keep walking, stay willing to correct. The path is made of many decisions, not one.
