Let’s be real — most of us don’t fail because we’re lazy. We fail because we think too much and act too little. We play out every “what if,” question every move, and end up stuck. If you’ve been in your head too long, this list is for you. These quotes are meant to cut through the noise and push you into motion — nothing fancy, just real reminders to get going.
