Do the thing right now...please :)

I don’t mean to come here preaching the same message you likely heard a million times over, but let me give you perspective on the same message.

Right now I am doing the thing. Creating this blog post is the first I have ever done in this regard. This comes after years of wanting to and not doing. Years of consuming content that told me to do it. And I chose today. The best day because it’s the only day I have. The ones before and after don’t exist.

For this, I am proud of myself. But there are sheds of fear and regret. Fear of, is this too strong of a message (does it correspond with my brand identity?) Shouldn’t I have started earlier so that it could have been great by now, or I’d at least know that it works?

Well, none of that matters because here we are. I showed up and it’s another brick I can lay on the wall that I am building which is confidence. Grammatical errors, convoluted run-on sentences, and all. Thank God for grammerly.

Today I challenge you to do the thing.

Do it scared, mess up, look stupid, do it at your lowest.

I promise no one will care longer than a couple of minutes, and that is if at all. If the small chance comes that they do, and it’s negative feedback you don’t want to see or hear, fuck them. It’s just another bored person afraid to take action. Maybe share this post with them. Counteract and reinforce your confidence.

Do the thing.

Do it right now.

Then do it again later, that's confidence.

Cheers from your friend,

Alioune
