Only one thing is progress — doing

Which is the best running shoe in the world?

Who cares? You just need a good enough pair. Because the shoes won’t run, you will.

And I am not being snarky here.

When we have to do something hard, we start looking for the ‘best’ tools — the best shoes, the best bike, the best swimming gear, the best online course, whatever…

And we feel good about researching — we think we are making progress even though we haven’t moved an inch.

Buying stuff is not progress. Researching online is not progress. Discussing with friends is not progress.

Only one thing is progress — doing.

Everything else, that merely comforts you, is a distraction. Kill it.
