Execution > Perfection

I cannot believe that this is my first blog post. This has been in the making since 2012. At first, I wanted to keep that as a secret but in the era of living your truth; here it is. For years; I have been thinking and not doing. I watched so many people who took the first step and continued and I was still standing at the start line. I was thinking that I had to read more books; watch interviews; and listen to podcasts and only then willI I be ready to launch my personal website. Instead, all that happened was that I suffered from “analysis paralysis”. It is amazing how hard it is it to take the first step. I was focused on perfection and not execution. I was afraid of rejection and not the possibility of acceptance. Over time, I realised that I am not alone and that is why it is so important to take the first step. The reality is that you learn from action and repetition.

Know that you are not alone and the only thing that I can say is that it is okay to take the first step. Start the movement. You can have access to all the resources in the world but you are the only person who holds the keys on next steps. Try to enjoy the journey and do not focus on the end goal or perfection. I plan to share my experience because I truly believe that smart people learn from their mistakes but wise people learn from the other people’s mistakes. I hope that you join me on this journey so that we can grow, explore, and learn together.

I make a living working in the City of London in banking. For fun I love to read, run, visit spas, and spend time with my family and friends. I believe that each of us holds power in our words and can be whatever we want to be so long as we make the commitment to work on it. I love to tell and share stories.
