Hello, my friends.
In life, we've all made a bad decision at some point, taken a path that wasn't the right one or the one we wanted.
However, haven't you ever experienced knowing there's no future on that path, yet you delay getting off it? This is like getting on the wrong train.
The thing is, the longer you stay on it, the more expensive and delayed your return will be. When you know it's not the right train, get off at the next stop.
This concept is harsh, but clear. Waiting too long to change a situation you already know isn't good for you only has one result: it multiplies the negative consequences.
Every minute you spend in that draining job, in that career you hate, in that draining relationship, is a minute you'll never get back. And it's not just wasted time; it's lost energy, mental health, and opportunities slipping away.
This applies to everything: studies, personal life, career. Every aspect of your life is governed by this law of increasing cost.
Inaction, when you see the warning signs, is a decision in itself, and it's usually the worst one.
That's why the first smart step is prevention. Before boarding any train, before embarking on any journey, think it through carefully. Don't be guided solely by whether it's easy or difficult.
Ask yourself: Does this path have a future for me? Is it consistent with who I am and who I want to be? Does it lead me to something good?
A difficult path, but one that's yours, is worthwhile. An easy one that takes you somewhere unfamiliar is a trap.
But let's suppose you've already made a mistake. You're already moving toward a destination you don't want. In that case, the only practical wisdom is to get off. It doesn't matter if you've been traveling a short or long way. Get off at the first station you can. If necessary, even jump off the moving train.
Changing your course isn't a defeat, nor is it a bad thing. On the contrary, it's the greatest act of responsibility toward yourself. What's truly bad, what is a real defeat, is continuing to move forward by inertia on a path with no future, knowing that it's bad for you and, by extension, for everyone who depends on you or loves you.
Courage lies not in enduring the unbearable, but in having the clarity to recognize the mistake and the strength to change direction, however uncomfortable it may be at first. The wrong train will never miraculously turn towards your destination. Only you can do that, by getting off and finding the right station.

Hola, amigas mías.
En la vida todos hemos tomado, alguna vez, una mala decisión, un camino que no es el indicado o el que queríamos.
Sin embargo, ¿no les ha pasado que, a pesar de saber que no hay futuro en ese camino, se demoran en salir de él? Esto es el equivalente a haberse subido en el tren equivocado.
Lo que sucede es que mientras más tiempo permanezcas en él, más caro y demorado será tu regreso. Cuando sepas que no es el tren indicado, bájate en la próxima parada.
Este concepto es duro, pero claro. Esperar demasiado para cambiar una situación que ya sabes que no es buena para ti, solo tiene un resultado: multiplica las consecuencias negativas.
Cada minuto que pasas en ese trabajo que te anula, en esa carrera que odias, en esa relación que te desgasta, es un minuto que no recuperarás. Y no solo es tiempo perdido, es energía, salud mental y oportunidades que se te escapan.
Esto se aplica a todo: estudio, vida personal, carrera profesional. Cada aspecto de tu vida está regido por esta ley de costo creciente.
La inacción, cuando ya ves la señal de alarma, es una decisión en sí misma, y suele ser la peor.
Por eso, el primer paso inteligente es preventivo. Antes de subirte a cualquier tren, antes de comenzar un camino, piénsalo bien. No te guíes solo por si es fácil o difícil.
Pregúntate: ¿tiene futuro este camino para mí? ¿Es coherente con quien soy y con quien quiero ser? ¿Me acerca a algo bueno?
Un camino duro pero que es el tuyo, vale la pena. Uno fácil pero que te lleva a un lugar ajeno, es una trampa.
Pero supongamos que ya te equivocaste. Ya estás en movimiento hacia un destino que no quieres. Ahí, la única sabiduría práctica es bajarte.
No importa si llevas poco o mucho viaje. Bájate en la primera estación que puedas. Si es necesario, hasta lánzate del tren en movimiento.
Rectificar no es una derrota ni es algo malo. Al contrario, es el mayor acto de responsabilidad hacia ti mismo.
Lo verdaderamente malo, lo que sí es una derrota, es seguir avanzando por inercia en un camino sin futuro, sabiendo que es malo para ti y, por extensión, para todos los que dependen de ti o te quieren.
La valentía no está en aguantar lo insoportable, sino en tener la claridad para reconocer el error y la fuerza para cambiar de dirección, por incómodo que sea al principio.
El tren equivocado nunca va a dar un giro milagroso hacia tu destino. Solo tú puedes hacerlo, bajándote y buscando la estación correcta.
