A mini-essay in praise of action

Assuming you have good intent, why are you stuck?

Your inaction probably stems from

Wanting to know more.

Maybe your inaction stems from the thinking,

I don’t want to appear like a fool.

Don’t become an advanced student of the art before jumping into it. For you are merely procrastinating.

Learning almost ALWAYS happens the HARD WAY – through ACTION.

Action

No one likes to be a beginner in any art. So we innately keep scouring the web for advanced materials, for proverbial magic pills.

The TRUE and REAL concept of advanced magic materials, does not exist. Such searches only lead to PARALYSIS.

The real magic pill is ACTION. It is all about doing things and doing it NOW.

Don’t overestimate the need to learn in the beginning.

Act-Experience-Learn

First, you need to act. And by gaining experience, you learn! It’s a cyclical process.

So shut your browser. Clear your desktop. And clear the clutter that’s been littering your head. Pick that one thing you have been putting off for the longest time. And just start!!

Give yourself the permission to suck. Don’t run away from the hard things. Our greatest sign of weakness lies in giving up. Sure you will get stuck. But the most certain way to succeed is to fail, to learn and then to try again. And to keep trying. Until you succeed.

This also explains why I am finally beginning this blog!

Think of one activity you can begin to ACT on today. What is holding you back? Do comment below and let me know.
