Don’t fix what’s not broken

Today’s reflection hit me quite clearly: don’t fix what’s not broken.

I’ve always had this drive to rebuild things — new layout, better structure, cleaner code, sharper design. Not because things were bad, but because I believed I could make them better. And maybe I could. But at what cost?

Sometimes, we rebuild just for the sake of starting fresh. Blank canvas. Full control. But today, I saw it from another angle — what I call the giraffe view. A step back. A look from above.

What’s already working? What doesn’t actually need fixing?

Instead of starting over, maybe the smarter path is to observe, to tweak, to reuse.

This applies to business, to online projects, and maybe even to life.

Not everything needs a reset. Not every system needs a redesign. Sometimes, all it needs is respect — recognition that it works, and that’s enough for now.

So here’s my note for the day: Before jumping into a new idea, a new version, a new plan — pause. Zoom out.

If it’s not broken, maybe don’t fix it.
