When You're Stuck, Do A Right Thing

When You're Stuck, Do A Right Thing

Recently, some personal experiences led me to a realization that applies equally to business and life:
When you're stuck, focus on doing a right thing, not the right thing.

It’s a subtle shift in wording—but a powerful one. Too often we become paralyzed searching for the perfect next step: the perfect decision, the perfect job, the perfect plan. We convince ourselves that if we just analyze the situation long enough, the perfect answer will reveal itself.

But in my experience—and maybe you've felt this too—waiting for the right thing often leads to no movement at all.

Instead, find a right thing.
Start there.
Act on it with focus and energy.
Stay alert to what’s happening around you.

Momentum builds. Doors open. Opportunities emerge.

So if you're feeling stuck—don’t wait.
Do a right thing. And keep going.
