First do, then (optional) say

When you do something, you don’t have to say you do the thing before doing it. Do it, and then (optional), say it. Note, even though in parenthesis disguising as unimportant, the most important word is optional. You don’t have to say what you do. You can do without saying.

You can take action without narrating how courageous you are subtly out of insignificance. If you need to say you do something in order for it to “feel” real, reconsider if you want to do the thing in the first place. Maybe not.

If your life needs to be an intagram story, reconsider your life, because stories serve their purpose, and such purpose is not to make your life feel real and valid.

Practice, take the actions you wish to take, and (optionally) share your stories.
