Get Rid of Doubts
If you don’t take action, you’ll keep wondering What if? You will struggle with self-doubt and question your decisions. Taking action builds experience and boosts your confidence. It also allows you to discover new resources and information that will contribute to your success.
Your Time Is Limited
Steve Jobs once said that remembering you’re going to die is the best way to stop thinking you have something to lose. Your time on this earth is limited. You never know what’s going to happen a month or a year from now on.
You might never get a second chance to rent that perfect office space in your area, go to that meeting you’ve been postponing for weeks, or apply for your dream job. Take action today! Don’t settle for anything less than you deserve!
One Thing Leads to Another
Getting started is often the hardest yet the most important step to success. No matter your plans, you must take action to bring them to life.
Once you make that first step, everything else will fall into place. It may or may not work out as you hope, but it will lead to something new. Think of it as an opportunity to grow and learn.
Let’s say you want to apply for a job that sounds perfect for you, but you know you aren’t quite qualified enough. Yes, it’s scary to apply, but what’s really at stake? Even if you don’t get the job, you’ll get practice interviewing for your dream job. You’ll also get feedback on what you need to focus on to get a similar job in the future. When you start taking action, you get results.
Develop Your Skills
Whether your projects succeed or fail, there’s always a chance to learn new things.
Taking action will help develop your skills, leading to greater confidence. Click To Tweet
The next time you want to take action on a dream, you’ll feel better prepared and have more experience. On top of that, you’ll approach things from a new perspective and won’t repeat the same mistakes.

Hi Elise,
Love this post. One thing does lead to another. Sometimes even mistakes turn out to be the best thing that happened. But you won’t know until you just do it, right?
100% true, my friend.The mistakes are necessary.
Good ideas Dr. Ho. Especially like the tip to take action to develop skills which will lead to greater self-confidence. I’ve found that to be true.
Do you have a certain set of skills in mind to develop?
Good advice. Overthinking does get in the way of getting ahead or getting anywhere. I will have to get my son to read this!
I hope that it is of much help to him.
This is me, I over think everything and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy and I fail. Its hard to stop overthinking everything.
It is a challenge but it is a challenge that can be overcome. You are literally halfway there as you are aware of it.
