Letter From Coach: Just Start The Thing Dammit!


Hey there Reader,

Welcome to this week’s Just BeU Newsletter where I share a word for the week and what’s going on in the BeU universe.

Have you ever found yourself standing at the edge of your dreams, toes hanging over the most uncomfortable edge of a cliff where possibility lies, yet unable to take that leap?

Today, let's delve into the heart of execution – that crucial juncture where intention meets action, where dreams become reality.

"Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage."
– Dale Carnegie

WHY IT MATTERS:

In the journey of personal transformation, theory can be intoxicating. Ideas buzz like neon lights, promising greatness at first spark. But real growth, true growth emerges from the crucible of action. The bridge between thought and achievement is execution.

THE POINT:

Friend, it's time to break free from the cycle of overthinking and step boldly into the realm of doing. Today's message centers on embracing that initial spark of action and fanning it into a blazing energy of progress.

GO DEEPER:

  • Research shows that execution rewires your brain, building resilience against doubt and paralysis by analysis.
  • Overthinking can cripple potential, breed inaction, and enable procrastination trapping us in a loop of indecision and unrealized goals.
  • By not acting, we're not just missing out on achievement – we're depriving ourselves of the growth and fulfillment that comes with it.

Imagine the prolific basketball coach John Wooden, whose Pyramid of Success rests on the cornerstone of execution. He said,

"Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best you are capable of becoming."

Wooden understood that execution and effort is the bedrock of realizing one's full potential.

Consider this parable:

A sculptor chips away at a block of marble, each strike of the chisel revealing the masterpiece within. Inaction is akin to leaving the stone untouched, potential hidden beneath layers of indecision.

I’m willing to bet that if you consistently take the right action and put yourself out there you can sculpt your destiny.

Say this affirmation to yourself or aloud.

"I trust in my ability to turn my thoughts into actions and my dreams into reality."

ACTIVITY CHALLENGE:

This week, choose a goal that's been simmering in your thoughts. That one you've been running from but keeps chasing you. Break it down into small, actionable steps. Commit to executing just one step each day. Watch how momentum builds, and barriers dissolve.

JOURNAL PROMPT:

Reflection Time

Reflect on a time when you transformed intention into action. What did you learn about yourself in the process? How did you feel once you took the first step? How did taking action inspire you to continue?

THE BOTTOM LINE:

"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing."
– Walt Disney

Friend, the journey from awareness to execution is where dreams ignite.

Don't let overthinking smother your brilliance. Seize the day, embrace action, and mindfully watch the transformation unfold. You possess the power to execute, and in doing so, you'll redefine your story.

Don’t concentrate on the seconds in the day - that'll drive you crazy, focus on your activity instead. Keep track and make it your mission to make improvements every day.

Remember, action is the currency of transformation. Take the first step, and watch as life molds itself around your efforts.

Just start 'the thing' dammit!

Only you know what that is. If you need help finding that thing, send me a DM on Instagram. I’d love to see how I can help you get started.
