When the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in. Better to jump and make a mistake than sit there too frightened to make a move. Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. We're what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit. The future depends on what you do. Easy choices lead to a hard life. Hard choices, lead to an easy life. Hard actions, hard decisions, hard conversations. Your dream life is on the other side of discomfort. Sometimes what you don't do is just as important as what you do. We can choose to throw stones, to stumble on them, to climb over them, or to build with them. After all is said and done, more is said than done. You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm.
