The wrong pursuit

“I wonder how tall she is.” I proceeded to go down a long journey to figure out the YouTuber’s height. Investigating link after link, I had to stop myself. “What are you doing? And why?” What difference would learning that piece of information make in my life?

Learning is of course a good thing. However, it is also my kryptonite. The pursuit of more and more information is what stops me from reaching my goals. While it is important to get a clear understanding of how to reach my goals and the skills and knowledge to do so, I can’t let the pursuit of those things outweigh the pursuit of my goal. There is a certain point where I just have to say, “I could definitely learn more, but this is good enough to start.”

I am so good for letting not knowing enough be my excuse. I can’t keep that up. I can begin with what I have now and continue to learn as I go. It is enough. It’s time to start.
