Take action!

Most of us have a certain dream. We have a goal that we want to accomplish, and we want to do that as fast as possible. The only thing that keeps us from doing it is either fear, or lack of skill. Both can be solved pretty easily. However, even if that's the case, not a lot of people succeed in accomplishing their dream. Why?

It's because we don't take action. It's because we're so scared of what might happen that we'd rather spend hours, days, weeks or even months "preparing" ourselves for something instead of just doing it.

If a person who wants to start programming spends 3 years reading everything about coding and programming languages, does research, buys books, reads, and memorizes things, after 3 years he may feel prepared to code, but then he realizes he can't actually code. He knows everything there is to know, except actually coding.

That's the way people love doing things. We love spending hours and hours reading about what we want to do, saying we are doing "research" and preparing ourselves, when all we do is avoid working and avoid taking action because we're afraid of all kind of things.

We're afraid that we may fail and people may laugh at us, we're afraid that we may lose a lot of time working on the wrong things, we are afraid that we may actually succeed and not be able to keep up with all the work. We have all kind of fears.

However, I don't think that should stop us. I don't think we should sacrifice our dream and our goals because we're afraid of a few things we don't even know for sure. Nothing is sure in this world except that you'll die. You can be sure about that. But you can't be sure about getting successful or about failing.

That's why you need to stop preparing, to stop training and to stop reading, and take action. Now. It's important to take action as fast as possible. If you start doing something productive right now, no matter how small, it will add up to the things that you'll do in the future.

It's way more important to start doing something, than to know everything there is to know about what you want to do. Actions are always more important that theory, and you should learn how to stop with the theory and learn how to take action.

We're talking about your dream here, and if you want to succeed, you need to start working. Start as fast as possible, and don't think about the things that might happen. Nothing is sure, but death. And I'm sure you don't want to die before accomplishing your goals.
