Being right is a small comfort in a world where the evidence-based practice of today is based on research published 17 years ago.

When we take the complexity of everything coming at us and try to squeeze into a box of “right and wrong” we don’t solve anything, we just move ourselves toward the cognitive distortion of polarized thinking.

In this time-lagged world there is rarely a “right”. More often it’s a, “this is the best we got right now”

There’s no shame in making your next move with “the best we got right now.” Just make sure to build in a little margin for the unintended consequences that will most certainly ripple out.
