Why Do We Spend More Time Talking About Doing Something Rather Than Doing It?

What's Good Dimah Fam!

Why do we often find ourselves stuck in a loop of talking about our plans and dreams, rather than actually pursuing them? It's a curious phenomenon, really. We enthusiastically share our aspirations – be it a new career path, a fitness goal, or a creative project – and yet, when it comes to taking action, we hit a wall. The root of this procrastination isn't always laziness or lack of motivation. More often than not, it's fear. Fear of failure looms large in our minds. The thought of not succeeding, or worse, being judged by others for our shortcomings, can be paralyzing. We worry about the myriad of ways things could go wrong, overshadowing the possibilities of them going right. This fear leads us to a false sense of comfort in just 'talking' about our plans. It feels safer to stay in the realm of hypotheticals, where failure is not a risk. But here's the thing – embracing the possibility of failure is an integral part of success. It's about becoming comfortable with the idea of messing up or facing setbacks. In reality, the path to achieving our goals is seldom smooth. It's filled with trials and errors, and each mistake is a stepping stone towards our objective. By acknowledging and accepting this, we can shift from merely talking about our dreams to actively pursuing them. It's about taking that first, often daunting, step and trusting that even if things don't go as planned, we will learn, adapt, and continue moving forward. We love you all so, so much. YOU GOT THIS.
