Small Imperfect Steps
Manage episode 407639745 series 3560992
“We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don’t let yourself be lulled into inaction.” Bill Gates.
Inaction is the real killer. Waiting for the perfect timing is the killer. There is no perfect time, there is never a window of opportunity that stays open forever.
Each day we must be willing to take consistent imperfect action. I often think about where I want my life to go and when you are creating big dreams, small actions don’t seem to cut it. It feels like I should be hitting homeruns and all I am really doing is hitting singles.
I have come to realize that in my life, that’s not how massive gains are attained. It’s actually a lot less sexy which in a way is great. It means that I don’t have to have this one big idea or plan that needs to be executed all at once. But it does mean that the small sometimes boring steps are the most important steps I can take.
