When you find yourself saying “I don’t know_____”
what to do
how to do it
if I can
if it will work out
if I really want to
where to start
why
if it’s too hard
too silly
too stupid
if I am brave enough
how it will turn out
what to use
when I have time
why I’m not doing it
why I can’t get started
what others will think
if I’m wasting my time
if they will like it
if s(he) will let me
if anyone will even cares
if I’ve lost my marbles
if it’s realistic
if I’ll ever finish what I start
what works
you are at the very best part of the situation.
Being at “I don’t know” is when all is possible.
The answer to “I don’t know” is “I’ll find out.” There is only one way for it to turn out wrong and that is not to take the first step to finding out and each next step that follows.
There is nothing wrong with making a mistake, or as I like to say, taking action with unintended results. Life is a series of actions steps. The majority of the the actions you take turn out right: eating, sleeping, breathing, driving, reading, smiling, saying “Thank you”, etc.
I’m guessing you didn’t get walking right on your first try. There was practice, determination and consistent action involved.
That’s how you learn everything. EVERYTHING. Taking action is all you need to do when you don’t know.
