For a very long time, I had this idea around the wrong way. I felt as thought motivation precedes action. But somehow, I realised it was the other way around: action precedes motivation. I find I tap into a deeper level of energy and excitement once I’m already doing the thing. So much so that I try my best not to even entertain the thoughts that tell me not to start the thing. The thoughts I try to give power to are the once that come once I’m already moving. This is what I aim to do anyway. That is also the idea that leapt to mind when I read your essay, Hrvoje. A great (and thought-provoking) read :)
Thank you for reading, Michael. That’s how it works for me too. I am predisposed to overthink first, so I’m trying to counter that and be more action-oriented. I’m glad that I achieved making it thought provoking.

Ohh tell me about it, I overthink first far too often! At least we’re trying to counteract it. Thanks Hrvoje :)
