Just Do It!- A Call for Action
Just do it.
Do it small.
Do it scared.
Do it cringing.
Do it tired.
Do it trembling.
Do it hesitating.
Do it nervous.
Do it unsure.
Do it afraid.
Enough of the planning and talking, you have done so much of that already.
I'm not saying that they are not important, on the contrary, their importance cannot be overstated. However they can never take the place of action, and neither can they produce its results.
While plans are maps/sketches of the gap between dreams and reality, Action is the bridge.
The distance between dreams and reality will remain uncrossed until action is taken.
That transformation can only be brought about by action.
Like Charles Bukowski said
"I was waiting for something extraordinary to happen, but as the years wasted on, nothing ever did unless I caused it.”
So just go ahead and do it, stop waiting for things to fall in place or be perfect before you start.
Newsflash it's never will and perfection is actually the fear of failure in disguise.
As Dan Miller brilliantly put it.
"Perfectionism is not as much the desire for excellence, as it is the fear of failure couched in procrastination"
And let me let you in on a little secret; Failure would always be better than the agonizing feelings of regret that come as a result of doing nothing.
It's better to fail than to do nothing.
So just ahead and do it, I am rooting for you.
Before I go, let me drop this here.
"Finish something. Anything. Stop researching, planning, and preparing to do the work and just do the work. It doesn’t matter how good or how bad it is. You don’t need to set the world on fire with your first try. You just need to prove to yourself that you have what it takes to produce something. There are no artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, or scientists who became great by half-finishing their work. Stop debating what you should make and just make something.”
—James Clear
