Keep on Going

“Keep on going, and the chances are that you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I never heard of anyone ever stumbling on something sitting down.”
Charles Kettering

This is one of the biggest reasons why it is so important to be taking action towards your goal, and to keep taking action until you finally acheive your goal. If you wait until you know the perfect action to take, then you will never get started. That’s called procrastination.

It is unrealistic to expect that we will know exactly what to do before we actually do anything. Nobody does. As we know, the most important thing is just to get started, as soon as we have a clear enough understanding of the situation to think of a way that we just might be able to move towards our goal.

The first step of a journey is always the hardest. The truth is that once you are out there doing things, making mistakes and learning from them, then you will be stumbling upon things that will help clarify the next step you should take, or even that make clear what the pathway ahead will be like. You will be noticing things that you didn’t notice before. You will feel more and more confident that you are moving towards your goal. You just can’t get all of this from just sitting there and visualizing success. There’s no substitute for action. Keep going and watch out for the things you’ll be stumbling upon.
