The Cost of a Single Mistake

I worked hard... still stayed broke. I showed up every day, thinking effort was

enough. I rushed decisions because I was tired and wanted things to work.

One careless choice, not double-checking, wiped out months of progress. I remember sitting

in silence, realizing hard work does not protect you from bad decisions.

That loss changed how I move. It taught me to respect money. To pause instead

of rushing. Now I do not move fast. I move smarter, because I already

know the cost of moving wrong.
