Go when it’s green

Green for go, red for stop. But what about amber? “Maybe”? In reality, it’s simply a signal that conditions are shifting from favorable (green) to unfavorable (red).

Today, I finally pushed a project forward that had been on red for a long time. It got me thinking about when we decide we are good to go. Are we waiting for the absolutely perfect moment, or just when it’s “good enough”? And if it’s “good enough,” what does that truly mean, because it’s not amber; it’s still undeniably green.

Green means go, and when you do, it’s time to put your foot down!
