In the Baja 1000 in 2015, my son Tanner and I were fighting for the lead after 790 miles. Tanner was on the bike and he made the pass for the lead! One minute later, he came to a four way intersection where someone had changed the signs for which way to go.
If Tanner had stopped to think about it, and spent time figuring it out and evaluating for long, the guy he just passed, 285x, would have come along and blown by him. He picked right. He did not know if it was the right way to go, but he went in that direction as fast as he could. He figured the faster he went, the faster he’d see if it was correct. After four miles, he saw it was not the right choice, and he turned back.
Learn to put all you’ve got into all you do. If it’s not the right thing to do, you’ll find out faster, and can make corrections earlier.
Pick a direction, and GO!
