Here, make this promise and never break it: I will always stay moving forward.
I don’t know if it’s how we’re raised, but a lot of us fear the wrong things.
Maybe it’s our upbringing that teaches us to dread making a mistake, so we gradually become cautious.
But over-thinking eats up your years.
The easiest way to waste life is to do nothing. Overall, I am a person without regrets– and to be fair, that’s easy to do when you’re still young. That said, if I were to change anything going back, I’d have acted even faster and with even less thinking.
Time punishes stagnation.
When we’re not moving, life moves right past us and the exact thing we fear happens– we miss out.
We miss out on experiences, potentially fulfilling relationships, and the spice of life itself: FORWARD movement.
Rather than focus on developing our stories, we wonder about stupid things that aren’t our business (is this role right for me? Should I move? Is this person the one? etc.).
The funny thing about change is it comes from tiny, seemingly insignificant actions. When I’ve forced all or nothing changes, such as moving to a new state without any plan or safety net– things changed, but not as much as I thought they would.
When I enacted small, routine changes– like writing and posting daily, and switching to muay thai instead of morning weight lifting, then my life changed in every imaginable way.
It’s bizarre, but it works better smaller.
The reason we waste time is we make decisions bigger than they need to be, we magnify the unimportant and dismiss the action steps.
It’s so much simpler than you think.
What tiny thing can you start today?
And start.
