Don’t overthink your dreams

On the road to living a life of meaning and contribution, it’s easy to get tangled in the overwhelming load of information that is out there.

If you’re anything like me, I want to find the perfect way to begin to pursue my desires. I can spend hours researching, reading, and accumulating the facts I need to make a solid decision.

However, if what you’re researching is worthwhile to you, then there comes a point where we need to take imperfect action in order to avoid stagnation.

Avoiding action delays our destiny and frustrates our potential. The power of imperfect actions says that we will make progress whether we rise or stumble.

Remember, anaylis paralasis is the enemy of our growth. You will never know all that there is to know about a subject. Knowledge is ever increasing. But action is rare in comparison.

Most people understand what they need to do to enhance their lives by 10%. However, a lack of urgency and a long-term view prevent people from putting what they know into action.

My charge for you today is simple: take action, even if it’s not perfect.

Imperfect action gives you room for feedback and improvement. It gives you proof that you can get something done.

Life doesn’t reward those who sit and dream all day. It rewards the brave-hearted who are not afraid to look silly and get things wrong.

So, to truly live with meaning, we have to risk being wrong and looking foolish as we take action on our desires.
