Begin, be bold, and venture to be wise.

— Horace

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Wisdom is usually imagined as something you accumulate by waiting, reading and considering. Much of it is actually earned by starting before you are ready and learning from what happens. Boldness in this sense is not recklessness; it is the willingness to take an action whose outcome you cannot guarantee. Every venture carries uncertainty, and that uncertainty is the price of the lesson.

Take one question you have been researching or deliberating over for a long time. Set a date by which you will act on your best current answer, then let the action teach you what the deliberating could not.
