A Weekly Pause to Move You Forward

You’re reading Infinite Momentum: a Sunday reflection followed by 130+ thoughtful executives, founders, and creatives navigating growth, change, and clarity.

“Start where you are.”

Henry Ashe

The first move isn’t always the biggest, but it’s the one that matters most.

One of the easiest traps to fall into, especially if you're thoughtful, ambitious, or wired to perform, is waiting.

This can be waiting until things calm down, until you feel more ready, until you have more time, energy, confidence, or clarity. Waiting until things are ‘perfect.’

But momentum doesn’t come from having the perfect plan, as we all know, it comes from making things happen.

I’ve seen this again and again in people I work with, and in myself.

  • A founder walking in circles for days before finally hitting “send.”

  • A friend who’s been meaning to leave a job for a year, and only recently truly realized no one’s going to do it for him.

  • A peer asking everyone else’s advice for fear of missing out on something that might change the whole equation.

Overthinking.

It’s good in small doses. It’s paralyzing when it consumes your ability to act.
