It's not the mines.
It's not IEDs either.
It's something much more sneaky and devious.
Something nobody talks about on social media.
Marcus Aurelius Anderson says it's very crucial to your success—as a leader or professional.
Something that can cost you your entire team, vision, and mission if you let it grip you even for one second!
It's called...
Wait—before I say what it is,
Let's get into our new ritual:

Ok now back to my bullet talk!
Hope you didn't skip all the way here because that'd be cheating :)
Alright then.
The only thing that kills faster than bullets in the war zone is...
H-E-S-I-T-A-T-I-O-N
Look how the suspense was about killing you even before I mentioned it.
You see,?
A decision is like a bullet.
And many are ones that needs to be “fired” fast.
But if you hesitate in a crucial moment...
You might be the one who ends up getting fired.
And in more diverse ways than you might imagine.
As we conclude this week's edition of Three Things Thursday…
Keep in mind that making those tough judgment calls will help you succeed (at best)...
And help you learn (at worst).
The danger is when you do NOTHING!
Until next time,
Train hard, breathe easy.
