Most people think they're stuck because they need to think more. In reality, they're stuck because they're overthinking.
From time to time I return to this to be reminded of that.
Just stop thinking, worrying, looking over your shoulder, wondering, doubting, fearing,
hurting, hoping for some easy way out, struggling, grasping, confusing, itching, scratching,
mumbling, bumbling, grumbling, humbling, stumbling, numbling, rambling, gambling, tumbling,
scumbling, scrambling, hitching, hatching, bitching, moaning, groaning, honing, boning,
horse-shitting, hair-splitting, nit-picking, piss-trickling, nose sticking, ass-gouging,
eyeball-poking, finger-pointing, alleyway-sneaking, long waiting, small stepping, evil-eyeing,
back-scratching, searching, perching, besmirching, grinding, grinding, grinding away at yourself.
Stop it and just
DO
From a letter by Sol LeWitt, 1965
