Do It Anyway

“Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What's important is the action. You don't have to wait to be confident. Just do it and eventually the confidence will follow.”

~ Carrie Fisher

This quote is from one of my childhood idols.  I love classic Star Wars.

With that said, I really needed to read this quote today.  Yesterday I was talking to my youngest brother Robbie about the difference between Why people and How people.  Walt Disney is a Why.  His brother Roy is a How.  George Lucas is a Why person.  Those who come up with the great ideas vs. those who know how to execute good ideas.  My brother Robbie is a How, and he classifies my brother Steven is a Why.  And then I admitted that I'm a much better Why person then a How person, in which Robbie said, "You are a great Why person."  I think Charles Schulz is a Why and How person.

Where am I going with all this?  I need to be a better How person.  I need to find balance.  I move, get afraid, stall, sometimes slip back, and then move forward again.  Really, I just need to be better at facing my fears and doing it anyway.  Be a problem solver, think outside he box, and move.
