Before we do anything, we all think a lot
about it: ‘Is this the right thing to do? What if I fail? What if something
goes wrong? Am I really capable of doing this? etc. This can make you hesitate
to try something, and if you have negative comments from people around you, you
can get into a deeper rut. “Stick to what you're doing,” ‘That's not for you,”
“Do you really think you can do this?” and so on.
It's often assumed that a long period of
reflection minimizes failure, and there's nothing wrong with that, but only if
you have a clear purpose and goal. More often than not, overthinking just takes
time, and you may miss the boat.
In fact, whether you execute after a long
deliberative process or a short deliberative process, you're going to keep
running into new and different problems along the way. No matter what you do,
you're going to run into unexpected things, and a long deliberation process
doesn't mean you won't run into problems. So once you've decided to do
something, the fastest way to get to your goal is to take action before it's
too late.
Of course, taking action doesn't mean
you'll achieve your goal, but the experience you gain from every step you take
adds to your skill set. You gain experience, and that experience is something
you can't create with anything else. You don't get it by thinking about it, you
don't get it by reading a lot of books, or you don't get it by taking advice.
If you have a great mentor through all of
this, that's great. They can teach you skills and give you tips to solve
problems in execution, but even if you don't, you can still get experience, and
you can add to your knowledge, and you can put things together to make it your
own. So if you're thinking about doing something today, why don't you stop
thinking about it and just do it? It doesn't have to be big, it doesn't have to
be amazing, you can start small, and as you gain experience, it will become a
tremendous skill and solidify the path you want to take.
