Bias towards action

When the going gets tough, the only thing that comes to us in abundance is fear. The fear of failure is so immense that we sometimes forget to see that there is an opportunity in front of us. The fear engulfs us completely and we start to think of the problems, the past, the could bes, the may bes and waste our time thinking about a different past that could have been so much better.?

There are lot of things that are within our gift even in situations that might seem grim, take a slice of positivity and think about that one thing that you could do to move you in the right direction. Sometimes, it's difficult to see what direction is right but moving sometimes is more important than direction and then once you learn from the movement, direction can be figured out. May be as a sailor of a boat, you find yourself in a vast ocean where all directions looks the same but if you keep going for another week, day or even an hour the clarity might emerge. Nobody ever got anywhere just by thinking, actions takes us to where we truly belong.

Definitely last line is true. I always wonder why sea and ship for challenges... With right knowledge, resources, experience, tools and equipments it should be easy to commute unless you miss something....
