Yesterday, I pontificated about how much information is “enough” to make a decision. Subscriber John S. agreed with my message and told me that his high school football coach used to say, “Do something, even it’s wrongâ€.
Coach wanted them to move, not just stand there. John said that if they waited too long, analyzed every option, the opponent could run by them and score.
If you’re like me (and you are,) you are often guilty of over-thinking, over-analyzing and procrastinating while you figure out the best thing to do and the best way to do it. It goes with the job.
But let’s face it, while our analytical tendencies are valuable in many contexts, they often keep us from doing things that could dramatically improve our lives.
As Helen Keller said, “Life is either a daring adventure or it is nothing.”
So, yeah. My new motto is, “Do something, even if it’s wrong”.
Nobody is ever going to describe me as impetuous, but I’m putting the habit of taking action at the top of my list. Okay, number two. Maybe three. Gotta keep it real.
So thank you John S. And, if you ever see your old coach, thank him for me, too.
