Imperfection Now > Perfection Later

Doing something is always better than doing nothing.

A major problem that smart people have is the belief that they can outthink their future problems before they even happen.

You believe that there’s a ‘perfect plan’ that you can develop that will remove the risk and possibility of failure from the equation.

It’s just not possible.

Life has a way of passing you by while you’re waiting for the stars to align.

The Universe doesn’t reward brilliant thinking. It rewards action, even if executed imperfectly.

The time to do something is about five minutes after you first start thinking about it. Any hesitation beyond this point increases the chances that you’ll never do anything.

When you’re young you feel like you have all the time in the world. Everyone tells you that you’ll figure it out ‘one day’. But that one day comes and goes without you even knowing about it.
