Doing It Before You Know What You Are Doing

I am surprised how people take a different approach towards sex then they do the other areas of their lives. When it comes to sex, whatever fears exist are easily thrust (pun intended) aside. Yet, we allow fear to stop us from taking action in almost all other areas of life. Why is this?

Consider the first time you had sex. When virgins, we are all nervous about the first sexual encounter. This is natural. We have all kinds of fears pertaining to our ability to perform, satisfy, and keep the other person happy. Our experience is limited to what others told us or, perhaps, we received some sexual education along the way. Of course, porn is a terrific teacher although not preparing us completely what we are in for.

The question I have is "why does most of the population have sex"? If we are all scared the first time we do it, how can we move forward while feeling this way? Don't people wait until they know how things are going to turn out before engaging in such an act? These questions are absurd. People get laid because somewhere along the line they decided to climb on board (pun intended). They overcame the fear and anxiety to perform.

Sex is done by everyone because they overcame fear and took action. Over time they acquired skills and ability to perform better. Nevertheless, the first step was taken. Contrast that with most other things in life. Rarely do people surmount the fear and anxiety. Instead of moving forward, they allow it to stop them. This is why procrastination is such a challenge for most individuals. They succumb to fear which deters the taking of action.

Can you see someone procrastinating when it comes to getting laid? In most instances, the answer is 'no'. However, people put off working out on a daily basis in spite of evidence which says they should not. The same is done with starting new businesses. Or switching jobs. Or going back to school. Or.... The list is endless. In the end, people use a multitude of excuses to remain exactly where they are. This is how they justify a less than stellar life.

Success is a result of "doing it before you know what you are doing". This holds true in every walk of life. It is impossible to have all the knowledge needed before entering something. Life offers only 'on the job training'. There is no course which prepares us for what occurs. Just like with sex, we need to jump in (hopefully no pun intended) and take action. Perhaps we make a mess of things (pun intended); that is where knowledge comes from. We act then we learn.

Apply the techniques you used for sexual pleasure in all other areas of your life. There will be times of uncertainty. You will wonder whether you measure up or not (pun intended). Get past that questionable thinking and consider what needs to be done. Take center aim and thrust forward (your guess). It is where the sweet smell of success if found. Try this and your life will be happier.
