Relax. You don’t need to know everything. You’ve got some goals, or you know the general direction you want things to go, and that’s enough.
You don’t need a detailed plan. You’ll figure things out as you go along.
I say this from the perspective of someone who usually wants to know everything. Over the years, I’ve had to fight my need to know because, frankly, it has held me back.
Many of my biggest accomplishments began on a lark. They weren’t well-planned or even given much thought. Â Something sounded good and I went for it.
Sometimes they worked out, sometimes they didn’t, but the net result was that a lot of good things happened for me that I’m sure would otherwise have never seen the light of day.
Do yourself a favor. Take a look at your project list or your someday/maybe list, or reach into your subconscious and choose something you’ve thought you’d like to do but have continually put on the back burner.
Choose something that excites you. Something that would make you leap with joy if you could actually do it. Something that has seemed impossible or the timing hasn’t been right or something you’re not sure you are capable of doing.
Don’t spend a lot of time on this. If you’re not sure, choose something that scares you.
When you’ve got it, push aside your doubts and questions and start doing it.
You don’t need to know what’s next, just take the first step.
You may not succeed. You may give up before the day is done. You may realize that you really don’t want it. But if you don’t start, you’ll never know.
If you do start, you might continue. And accomplish something that completely changes your life.
