Lean In and Act

Knowing is good.  Doing is usually better.  Of course you’ll make mistakes.  You have permission.  Conduct an experiment in which you act more quickly than you’re comfortable.  What did you learn?  You can almost always iterate and adjust later.  Future you will thank you.

Is it that easy? Maybe not. Or maybe so. Is there a chance that we make things more difficult than they need to be? Is there a chance that we already know what we need to do, but we don’t act for some reason? Maybe we learned as a child from being constantly reminded of all the things we’re not supposed to do. Maybe an embarrassing experience along the taught us to hesitate rather than act. If we can adjust later, why not act? What are you waiting for?
