We must start with our idea of spark of insight and certainly put pen to paper or pedal to the metal so-to-speak. And the quote, “those who fail to plan, plan to fail,” is also true. So it seems the balance of planning and doing is important. I would add that taking the time to connect deeply to ourselves helps also, which helps us in fulfilling our deepest purpose. This keeps us from just “doing” aimlessly or over planning as a way to not fulfill our life’s purpose, therefore helping us and the world progress, grow, and evolve.

It's probably due to fear on some accounts but I bet it's mainly due to disbelief in what the person is aiming to do. Kim, glad you enjoyed the article.

Most people get so caught up in the planning stages they never move into action. Often times, I wonder if this is do to fear or nervousness or maybe even a way to procrasinate. What I like about your post is that you give concrete examples of how you use goals and planning to move into action. I love this post.
