"Vision without action is a dream. Action without vision is a nightmare."
This is the yin and yang of the universe - going all out, all the time will eventually get you killed; whereas doing nothing will do the same, just in a different way. Yes, we have to take time for contemplation and information gathering. Making an uninformed decision is nearly as bad as not making one at all. But at a certain point, you have to realize you have about as much knowledge and wisdom as you can hope to at the present moment, and you have to make a decision. The time is going to pass either way; you might as well do something to move forward with it.
Remember that the action you take doesn't have to be all or nothing - the actions you take might simply be small, preparatory steps so that the next "big" one has everything in place. But do something. If there's one thing I've learned from reading (and living), it's this:
No one who is where you want to be got there by standing still.
We can justify and excuse away our inactivity very easily. Surely "they" had access to information or resources we don't, they don't have the same roadblocks we have, it's just not the right time. But eventually you'll realize that the excuses don't matter; the universe doesn't care. What gets done is what matters. So don't just stand there - fucking do something.
