My understanding
Putting something off doesn’t make it any easier. The hard things in life don’t change just because we delay them. Waiting only builds up more fear or hesitation.
For me, whether it’s starting a new project or making a tough decision, the more I wait, the harder it feels to take the first step. I think the best thing to do is to jump in and face the challenge.

Steve Jobs’ quote "You never achieve what you want without falling on your face a few times.". Well said. Success isn’t a straight path. It’s full of falls and failures. It’s about getting back up, wiser and more determined.
