it’s hard for cerebral people to understand how crucial it is to learn by doing rather than thinking and the more uncertain you are about doing the thing the more you’re about to learn

becoming high agency is realizing the risk itself is the point. not the outcome, not the reward. just the act of choosing under uncertainty because each time you prove you can “pull the trigger” you maintain your fundamental freedom to act.
