Doing brings you out of whatever funk you are in. Even just a small bit. Great piece.

The internet is full of thinkers but not a lot of doers. As Mike Tyson said (I’ve been quoting this a lot recently to motivate myself, too): ”Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”

Many things look good on paper, yet when the time comes, we generate reasons why now isn’t the right time. Fear, imposter syndrome, and laziness play together flawlessly to prevent us from improving.

So true, overcoming those fears is hard and things are rarely even close to how bad we imagined they might be.
