I'm just putting it out there

In order to get something done, one has to do it: a concept brilliantly hidden in deceptively simple wording. In practice, however, this adage is something that takes way more effort than one would think to apply. People, as a general rule of thumb, are so caught up in the grandiose of planning, that action just becomes another bullet on the to-do list. There is always talk about doing this on Saturday or going there on Tuesday, but Saturday becomes next Wednesday, and Tuesday becomes two Sunday from now, until gradually, but surely, someday we will get around to it. Little do we know that the secret to getting around to doing it is doing it. This seems so simple, so easy, so obvious, but if that was the case, why aren’t more people do it? No talk, no plans, no intentions, just action. Just going out and signing up for that break-dancing class we always saw through the window on the way home from work, or going to that restaurant that boast the first Mexican-Thai-Mongolian menu in the world: actions like these are what bring about change. Actions like these are what allow us to be who we always wanted to be, and if that happens to be what we planned, then the world is that much better. If this isn’t the ideal change in direction, then take it for what it is and relish in the fact that something has gotten done, and that’s one less thing on the to-do list.
