“Reading articles like these is a form of mental masturbation to soothe you out of the true realisation that you are wasting valuable time not taking action.”

Yikes. Guilty as charged. 😆

The highlight for me is taking action..yes being committed is good but many times I find myself procrastinating bcz I 'think' I need more time to be prepared..but in real it's jus a waste of the time I do have to take action.

And maybe we find things we are looking for..this was my reminder to act!

The taking action part - that is where the growth comes from. It took me a long time of reading, studying, preparing etc before I put myself out there as a creator. Since the, nothing but growth (slow, but surely) has happened. This is a fabulous read!

" You must continually realign your work and your values to produce things of outstanding quality."

This is the mindset I had when applying to university. Skipped the safe programs, and jumped straight to the ones I love. praying for the best and waiting for a response now:)

People recover differently. I think it’s important for one to fully understand when they should rest or keep on going.
