Spring Into Action
Updated: Jun 26, 2021
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance. Alan Watts
My partner has recently started a big professional venture that brings him closer to his dreams of owning San Diego's premier mortgage broker (San Diego Home Loans). I feel incredible pride and have watched him take small steps over the past few months to launch his new brand.
Recently, we were sitting together on the couch and he seemed contemplative. I asked him to share his thoughts, and he said he felt conflicted about where to start for his new venture. In a sense, he has already begun, from the moment the idea appeared, to all the small steps he has already taken. In fact, he's made enormous progress!
Still, I felt it important, with his permission, to give my advice: it doesn't matter where you start, just start and you will see how it all shapes up and what you need to do.
In this example, springing into action required two steps: (1) recognizing the ways in which he had already started, and (2) deciding to start without worry about where to start.
Just spring into action!
