The Power of Starting Before You Feel Ready

I want to be more confident when I speak, I want to have a clear direction of a career to grow in, I want to grow in habits like reading books and creating stuffs, I want to have healthy body care routines, I want to grow a circle of friends to promote support, I want to do this, I want to be that and trust me, the list is way longer than this.

I kept thinking, I kept saying to myself and I kept wanting and wishing without taking any action. This is the case for many and sadly, I've had a lot of them around me growing up. So many of them, after saying what they would do, don't take even the most little step towards achieving it. A few would start, quite applaudably, but no progress.

One thing is clear... "It is easier said than done" especially when it comes to getting rid of bad habits and building new habits. Maybe I struggle more with putting these thoughts to action because of the kind of experiences I've been exposed to but I caught myself since a while ago and it's been different for me since over a month.

I chose to take action...

It's one thing to think of something or plan to do something, it's another to actually take action with those thoughts and plans in mind. It has not been easy for me but forcing myself to take action have a game changing decision for me because now, I see more clearly some things I didn't. I know way more than I knew months ago.

Instead of wishing to be confident, I just try to speak and express myself more. Instead of worrying about a career to grow in, I just keep learning and improving on what I already can do now. Instead of thinking of growing the habit of reading, I just pick a book to read everyday. Instead of hoping for a good body, I eat healthy.

And like I said, the list goes on and on, but I chose to take even the most little step towards everyone of them and the game is already changing because I can totally feel it is. It might take my whole life figuring out some things but with the pace I have created for myself and the constant decision to take action, it's all aligning.
