Just Do Something
No matter how much you think of a situation, if you never go out there and do something, it would remain the same. Thoughts without actions would never get you where you need to be. We are drawn to inaction mostly because we want the plan to be perfect and we seek perfection without knowing that what we need is a progression, not perfection.
Have you ever seen something that was so perfect that could never be improved? The first air flight might have seemed perfect, but we have all seen better. The first human communication with mobile phones might have seemed like a world of perfection, but we surely have seen better. If these scenarios that seemed at one time to be perfect have all improved over time, why then do we continue to seek what might never be attainable?
It is okay to do some due diligence before getting started on a task, but know that the due diligence you are doing is not to get to perfection, but to have some level of progress recorded, and once you have that started, just keep pushing. Have you ever wanted to send an email and you kept tweaking and tweaking, just send it. You can always correct it only if you have taken an effort to get started on the conversation.
Inaction holds us so much that the things we really want sometimes is right in front of us and the only thing we should have done is putting in some action. If you never put in any action, you can never truly know what would have happened. And in the uncertainties of life sometimes is the goodness of life. How did we come to equate uncertainty with something bad? Just because its uncertain does not make it bad. It is just uncertain.
And the more we seek certainty, the more we might remain stuck for the rest of our lives. We want to be certain this action would grant us the highest return, and you keep polishing the idea until someone else takes on the idea and applies some action. Then you realize it was not always all about the certainty. A lot of it involves just putting in some action.
So no matter where you are right now, understand that inaction can never take you to where you want to be. If you have something you want to do and you are afraid of doing it, just put in the action, whatever happens, could only have happened because you put in the action. And if you never put in the action, you can never tell.
No one knows the exact outcome of whatever it is that we are doing, but one outcome is certain if we never take action and that is no outcome at all. So give yourself the opportunity to take a few steps today and take some action towards what you want to achieve. Understand that the most important thing is your mindset when taking action. Just because you took the action does not mean it would work out, but at least you tried.
And that is what matters. The more you keep trying, the more trying becomes less difficult, and once you are able to keep trying, one day, whatever it is you have been seeking would eventually come to happen. It might take a while, but action always brings the dream closer to reality. The world awaits your greatness and what you need is to take the step. Go do something now. Thanks and God bless.
