THERE IS NO ESCAPE

There is no escape from this earth – we’re here. Sure, you could fly off to Mars, but that’s not a practical solution for 8 billion people for the next decade or two. Even then, most of us are going to stay right here and gut it out through good times and bad, pandemics and wars, and we’ll make it better every year.
Nike says: Just do it!
Tom Peters says: Ready, fire, aim!
James Clears says: Whenever you are stuck searching for the optimal plan, remember: Getting started changes everything.
Is the target clear, is our message clear, is our method sound, is anything true, is everyone being truthful, is the world round, can I count on things?
We can drive ourselves a little bit crazy. Some days I feel completely clear and confident, and some days I don’t have a @#%&)RU(WSDing clue.
Whatever our troubles, however daunting our task or burdens to carry, just do it.
The alternative is not to be here.
Sure, the world will continue to spin without you, but who will get your work done?
Seriously, if not you, who?
If not now, when?
There is no escaping our choices. Some are choices we make today – and most are choices we made a long time ago that has produced this result: we are here living the life we created. Everything is within our power to change, to remake or to repeat.
Just do it.
