This is something many don't think about but can really hold us back from taking action.

Whether it's intentional or intentional we can easily make things so complex (adding nuance) that it becomes a substitute for actual thinking or problem solving. 

We may unintentionally portray a problem so complex that we end up doing nothing because we either don’t know where to start, feel overwhelmed, or think we’re unqualified for the task. Or We do it deliberately to avoid having to take responsibility.

Either way, the result is that people get passive, no one is held accountable and problems are left without any long term solutions. 

So when you want to do something but feel like it’s too big, take a deep breath and take a step forward. The most important thing you can do is to not give up. So rather than saying “Just do it!”, say “Just try it!” - and keep trying!
