I often get caught in that endless loop of planning and analyzing, but never actually doing. My great ideas often stay just that—ideas—trapped in "what if" instead of becoming "what is."
The perfect moment
Our minds buzz with ideas, but we stay still. This paralysis, born from chasing perfection or waiting for the perfect time, keeps us from our goals.
"While we wait for life, life passes." -- I forgot where i read this
The perfect moment to start has always been and will always be -- "now"
Perfect imperfection
I hate to admit it but "perfection" doesn't exist. Our thoughts and actions will never be perfect. So go on, do that thing you've always wanted to do. Clear away your anxiety of not being "perfect", learn to embrace your perfect imperfection.
Liberating first step
Personally, I've found so much freedom in imperfect action.
- That first clumsy step, that rough draft – they aren't failures. They're vital parts of the journey.
- They give instant feedback, showing what works. This guides us far better than just thinking.
You learn to swim by getting in the water, not just reading about it. The same goes for anything you want to achieve.
Finale
So, what small, imperfect action will you take today to move from "what if" to "what is"? Don't let your great ideas just sit there.
- Start small and start now.
- Embrace your imperfections.
- Let momentum guide you.
