“Action cures fear.” – David J. Schwartz

This quote from David J. Schwartz, the author of The Magic of Thinking Big (one of my favourite books), says it all in a simple way, doesn’t it?

If you want to do something but are either waiting for the “right time” or just too afraid to take action, do it anyway. You might make mistakes along the way, but learning from those mistakes builds resilience and wisdom.

This isn’t just about entrepreneurship; it applies to many other areas of your life too:

• Talking to your crush
• Applying for that job or promotion
• Moving to another city or country
• Learning a new instrument
• Going back to college or university
• Learning to drive
• Overcoming burnout or anxiety

When I was in my early 20s, I moved from my parents’ house to Kelowna, BC, for a job opportunity. I didn’t know anyone there—I just went for the work. Several months later, I met a beautiful woman from Vancouver Island and ended up moving there because of love.

I didn’t have time to be scared—I just did it.

Whatever it is you’re afraid to do or are waiting for the perfect opportunity to tackle, just go and do it! You’ll make mistakes, and your heart might hurt, but what you learn and experience will be pretty damn awesome.

Keep going, bro.
