Just do it

In an interview with Google, I recall Conan O'Brien talking about how one can get places by simply "going with it."  Sometimes when you just go with things, you end up in places you would never have been had you not taken any action.  This is true in so many ways.  Rivers are a great way of illustrating this idea.  What may look like a stream in one area may take you to paradise (whatever your idea of paradise is).  Also, when we get up and do something, it's always better than not doing anything at all.  Saying I tried and failed is better than not trying at all.  There's always room for more experience.


So how can I measure my aptitude for trying?  By comparing the number of times I say I want to do something to the number of times I actually do something.  Everyone wants to do something, but how many people actually turn ideas into actions?  The next time you're thinking of doing something, stop thinking too hard and just do it.  Sorry Nike :P
