Daniel Pink

It's like, oh my God, there was this guy or this gal and I really liked him.

And that, you know, this is 30 years ago and I really wish I had asked them out on a date.

So regrets of boldness, if only I'd taken the shot.

Amen on that one, man.

Yeah.

You might have, but sometimes the timing isn't right.

I give yourself a lot of grace on that.

Because you did something.

You took the action.

You know, you took the action.

There's an old Chinese proverb, which is, you know, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.

Second best time is now.

And so that's what you just have to think about it that way.

So if you stop smoking, that's fantastic.

Yeah.

Maybe you should have stopped five years ago, but you didn't.

And so give yourself some grace because you did something really hard that is actually valuable for yourself and your family.

I really think you got to treat yourself with grace and not obsess over doing something sooner.

A lot of us are like kind of risk averse.

And Daniel Kahneman, the great Nobelist, he has research basically distilling to this.
