Please do... take action

I tend to overthink. Sometimes I convince myself that’s just how I’m wired, but I can also remember plenty of times when I didn’t hesitate—I just did. There were moments where an idea came, and instead of letting it sit, I moved on it. Even the wild ones, the ones that felt impossible. Somewhere along the way, though, action became harder. I see people out there chasing things, making things happen, and I wonder where they find that drive. That push. That ability to just go. And I won’t lie—there are days I wish I had that. But after a while, you get tired of being stuck. You get tired of watching, of waiting, of feeling bad for yourself while the world keeps moving. And maybe, just maybe, you get tired enough to finally do something about it. So you start small. You take one step toward something you’ve been putting off. It’s not much, but it’s something. And for the first time in a while, you feel what it’s like to move. To break the cycle. And it reminds you that action—no matter how small—has weight. Lately, I’ve been leaning into that. An idea comes, I write it down. I ask myself where I can take it, how I can make it real. Instead of letting it sit in my head, I try to get it into the world, even if it’s just the first version, even if it’s messy. Because thinking about it won’t get me there. Wanting it won’t get me there. The only thing that will is doing. So here’s to trying, to moving, to figuring it out along the way. Available on all DSPs
