We need to make choices. But we are afraid to do so. So we cook up complicated ways to duck those choices. Meanwhile, sand runs through the hourglass. Sooner or later, we are going to need to make those choices we put off. It's going to be harder to make them later because we will be older and have fewer options available to us. Success in life (both financial and non-financial) takes courage. I am not saying that I always evidence courage. However, I like to think that there are times when I am aware of the nature of the problem that we all face.
