Just Say Yes

If you can think of anything that gives you the slightest bit of interest, curiosity, passion, or euphoric feeling and you haven’t gone after it. Please take a moment to think about the why. Why haven’t you started that project, what excuse did you come up with this time.

I’ve thought of many ideas that have intrigued me, many of them I only thought of but gave no real action to. I asked myself this same question, why and what stopped me from going through with the idea. It came down to pure reaction and lack of discipline.

Pure reaction has made it, so I have no other choice but to declare if I’m going to start or give into thought process. The thought process often makes projects seem much more difficult than it actually is. I’ve done my fair share of mental gymnastics over the thought of getting my idea into reality. I have fallen too many times into this rabbit hole that spirals to me being less confident than ever to start the process, all before it even started at all.

Or even worse, when I did start the project, it never came to full fruition. I did all the calculations and looked over each step of the way to ensure the project would be perfect. However, I lacked the discipline to continue and hold the values I began with. I tried to make the perfect product, instead of trying to have the most fun with it.

You will say yes to your ambitions, you will have fun with them, you will take action. Do not ponder on the what ifs, the outcomes that haven’t happened yet or get so caught up in the thought process behind it.

You must take action and just say yes.
