I’m a fuckup in lots of areas & I have tons of deficiencies and fears which I never let on about...
-
One of the few things I know for certain is that action is the antidote to this anxiety. You are not worried about what’s coming when you’re in control of moving toward it.
-
I’ve worked incredibly hard for years and years at cultivating a reflex of pursuing next actions wherever I can. Working on doing rather than ruminating. Moving rather than thinking.
-
And yet, even after all that work I still get tripped up by my own inertia. Regularly.
-
I slow down to a complete halt, run out of gas and spend days in bed, I push too hard and snap, then having to spend weekends unable to do anything other than drag myself into the shower or the couch.
-
My point is that even after all the introspective work & 100’s of hours talking to the smartest people on the planet... I still haven’t got this life thing figured out yet, I don’t think I ever will. I’m just a bit less shit than I was yesterday.
-
Get out of your own way, focus on action first. The rest will fall into place.
-
Then learn to forgive yourself when you fail to meet your own standards, because you’ll fail regularly if you’re stretching yourself.
-
Brush yourself down and go again. It’s just a game. (of Roy)
