Ce prochain article fait partie d'une série continue ici au magazine de TSB appelé Les principes de succès. La série est basée sur les 64 principes présentés par Jack Canfield dedans son cours du même nom. Si vous êtes nouveau, je suggère toujours commencer n'importe quelle série de le commencement.
Principe 14 : Maigre juste dans lui
La leçon d'aujourd'hui est courte, et des manières est une brève suite de leçon d'hier Agir. The fact is, that sometimes taking action is intimidating. At the very beginning of a journey, sometimes it is more important to just get started then the entire plan outlined perfectly.
No one really knows how something is going to turn out until they get their feet wet with it for a little awhile. For instance, you may have always had a strong interest in music, but never really considered a career in it. Then one day, short on cash, you reply to an add looking for a helper for a local DJ. You get the temporary job, only to find out that you love it, and wind up making a career out of it. Or maybe, feeling a little lonely, you decide to put a profile up on an online dating site. The next thing you know your inbox is flooded with available women looking to chat with you.
Oftentimes, success happens when you just lean into it- when you make yourself open to opportunities and are willing to do what it takes to pursue it further- without a contract, without a promise of success, without any expectations whatsoever. You just start.
The truth, you never really know how any situation is going to turn out until you explore your options a little bit.
Four years ago, Mike Stoute, in the mist of building websites for various friends, asked me if I was interested in a website. He told me he would create one for me for free. I had never even considered starting a website, but since I always had a strong interest in writing, I decided to give it a shot. At the time, I was in the mist of the sickness, and needed to get my mind off of a particular girl. I decided to write about ways to beat the sickness and improve with women. Now, five years later I’ve made a career out of it.
The advice of this principle is simple: Pick an area of your life- career, financial, relationship, health and fitness, recreation, hobby, or contribution- that you would like to explore and just lean into it. You might be surprised what you find.

I really like this advice in particular. May seem short, simple and obvious but I think it’s really important and I for one often am guilty of overlooking it.
I have a habit of planning everything to the max, till the end, a perfectly outlined planned as you put it before I even get STARTED on anything. Where as, really, as experience has shown and older wiser people like yourself and my parents have suggested, sometimes it’s best to get your feet ‘wet’, and then go along and make the plans little by little.
The getting ’started’ itself initiates you, and drives you along and still means you have enough time to make adjustments later. But I normally try to have everything set up before I even make the first step.
