1713 || imperfect action > inaction

Inaction is not neutral. 

I know I’m capable of great things but I am too afraid to do anything I want to do because it is easier to do nothing.

It feels safer to do nothing but it’s not. Inaction is not neutral. 

Just because I can’t solve every problem doesn’t mean I can’t solve any of them. 

Its easy to criticize the problems and the issues and the systems even, and blame my inaction on that - but I do have space and time and energy where many people don’t and I don’t use it because much of it is self centered criticism of my own perceived ability to change the problem. 

How many times I’ve said to myself something to the extent of, since I can’t fix the world so I may as well give up on this tiny corner of it. 

And that’s sad. My fear of being imperfect to myself is holding me back from everything.
