The choices that change your life rarely feel calm in the moment. They feel heavy, uncomfortable, and urgent, which is exactly why we’re tempted to rush the very decisions we can’t undo. I’m Aaron Havens, and this short Growth Instigators Hotline message is a reminder that speed can be a trap, not a strength, especially when the stakes are high.

We talk about the hidden motive behind “just deciding” and “trusting my gut” when a big commitment is on the table. A lot of the time, that push to move fast isn’t courage or clarity, it’s impatience and the desire to stop feeling the weight of the decision. And when you move too quickly, you don’t necessarily lose intelligence, you lose visibility. The warning signs are often there, but urgency makes them easy to miss.

You’ll also hear a practical decision-making framework you can use today: go fast on small, reversible choices, but slow down on irreversible decisions by buying time on purpose. Even an hour or a single night can help the truth catch up, reduce emotional pressure, and improve judgment. I also bring in Warren Buffett’s rule about saying no to almost everything as a simple permission slip to pause.

If you’re facing a career change, relationship decision, business commitment, or any high-stakes choice, press play and then answer one question: where is the hurry coming from, you or the situation?
