I think your phrase "action oriented" is the hub around which this wisdom revolves. Everything changed for me when I started trying to internalize the parallel idea that you shouldn't wait for perfect tools, plenty of time, adequate money, and so on before attempting to do, build, or achieve something. Theodore Roosevelt said, "Do what you can, where you are, with what you've got." Living by that changes the game. Great piece!
Yes! I really love that Roosevelt quote, too! I feel like if we wait for all that stuff to line up (tools, time, money) we'll just never start. Thanks so much for reading and sharing your thoughts.
So glad this was helpful! And I do truly believe there is a time for uber planning and a time for just taking one step-- all about finding the balance!

I *love* this and needed to hear it.
Thank you! And me too, I'm in a period of feeling totally behind in everything, so I wrote what I needed.
I needed this. I confess that I'm an uber planner which can be both a boon and a bust. So glad to be reminded today one step is OK.
