The Worst Thing You Can Do Is Nothing
Teddy Roosevelt once said:
“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.”
I see this play out over and over again—in leadership, in coaching, and in life.
Action creates clarity. Movement creates momentum.But hesitation? It keeps us stuck exactly where we don’t want to be.
The truth is, growth doesn’t require perfection—just direction. Even a wrong step can teach, refine, and redirect. But staying frozen keeps us from becoming who we’re called to be.
Whether it’s a leadership choice, a personal decision, or a step toward your purpose, do something. Forward progress—no matter how small—builds courage, competence, and confidence.
Ok, what’s one decision you’ve been putting off that needs movement today?
