# Acting and Correcting Reveals the Right Path by Bryant McGill > “It is better to be all in on something that proves wrong than half in on nothing. Wrong choices generate feedback, feedback reveals the next better choice, and a person who acts and corrects reaches the right path faster than a person who stews over the first fork. Stillness feels safe, but ruminating over an unmade decision is usually more painful and less informative than making it.” > **— Bryant McGill**, *Acting With Purpose Before Certainty Arrives - Livestream (Feb 2017)* ## Sources and Context - **Source:** [[livestreams/Acting With Purpose Before Certainty Arrives - Livestream|Acting With Purpose Before Certainty Arrives - Livestream]] — exact quotation from the dated developed livestream document (2017-02-09). ## Related Articles and Collections - **Collection:** [[collections/Simple Reminders|Simple Reminders]] - **Article:** [[articles/simple reminders/Your Future Begins with Your Next Thought|Your Future Begins with Your Next Thought]] - **Livestream:** [[livestreams/Acting With Purpose Before Certainty Arrives - Livestream|Acting With Purpose Before Certainty Arrives - Livestream]] ## Related Topics - [[wiki/Agency|Agency]] ## Share on Social Media ``` “It is better to be all in on something that proves wrong than half in on nothing.
