We collect articles about our field, buy the right equipment, make elaborate plans. We get lost in the mental masturbation of feeling productive without producing anything.

The problem is that we dream, plan, imagine, basically do anything but act. Not because we don’t care, but because we care too much .

the choice of inaction serves a hidden purpose: avoiding the fear of change or disappointment. Unrealized potential remains pure, unthreatened by effort, unspoiled by rejection.
