Not sure I am on board with this as a blanket statement. Not all decisions have equal echoes through time. Also, “compounding” as a word applied to decisions probably needs some clarification in this context. It’s often used in the financial world to describe a mathematical phenomenon involving interest. Typically human choices defy mathematical rules, especially when applied to choices and resulting consequences. It’s true that the impact of some decisions can be felt vividly15 years on, but some decisions have no impact whatsoever. I think I get what you are trying to highlight, I not sure it’s cut and dry life principle! Cheers.
