I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, for February 23rd.Now, today is National Rationalization Day—a day dedicated to the mental gymnastics we all perform to justify, well… just about anything. Skipped the gym? “It’s a rest day.” Ate an entire pizza? “Cheese has calcium.” Procrastinating on a project? “I work better under pressure.” Rationalization: the art of convincing yourself that all your decisions are, in fact, great decisions.And that brings me to today’s quote from Brian Tracey, who once said:"Almost any decision is better than no decision at all." Now, this quote is great because it acknowledges that indecision can often be worse than making the “wrong” choice. But it also ties in beautifully with National Rationalization Day, because sometimes we make a decision and then spend way too much time justifying it instead of just moving forward.You know how it goes—you hesitate, second-guess yourself, and suddenly, instead of making progress, you’re deep in an internet rabbit hole, reading about the sleeping habits of penguins. (It happens. Don’t judge.)Brian Tracy’s wisdom is a reminder that action is key. Even if you don’t have all the answers, moving forward means you’re learning, adjusting, and actually getting somewhere. And if it turns out you made the wrong decision? Well, lucky for you—it’s National Rationalization Day. Just tell yourself it was all part of the plan.So today, embrace the art of decision-making, but maybe take it easy on the rationalization part. Instead of justifying why you didn’t start that thing you’ve been meaning to do, just… start. No overthinking, no mental gymnastics—just action.That’s it for The Daily Quote and remember - make a decision and own it. I’ll be back tomorrow same pod time, same pod station with another Daily Quote.
