Action is life. Many people are afraid to act for fear of failure so they work to create perfection to protect them.
Action is synonymous with movement and movement need not always be grandiose and dramatic. It can be but subtle and quiet as thought. The movement from somewhere to somewhere else cannot be accomplished except through action.
Action, i.e. movement, can, and often does, yield unanticipated discovery. Discovery is by definition unanticipated. But if you are not moving, if you are not testing, experimenting, tweaking, and taking advantage of what you learn, discovery is dead on arrival and that death is the cessation of action.
...a very profound and effective lesson because perfection is the death of action -- not by homicide but by suicide.
-- Jim Sniechowski
