Greg and Jennifer talk about the fear of making mistakes and small practical steps that can help you finally move forward.

It's easy to stall out when you are afraid of doing the wrong thing. This fear constantly resurfaces for us. In our current home, one room has left us stuck in analysis paralysis for over seven years. But the issue is not just finding the right furniture or even diving into a confusing remodel construction. The problem is always waiting until we think we have all the answers before actually taking action. And because we rarely have all the answers, there are many projects not only left uncompleted, but not even started. And that's just stupid.

So how do we overcome that? And how have we started making so much more progress in recent months? We share what has helped break that pattern, both in Rosary Army and at home. It's not just one thing that solved the problem, but several, small, simple solutions.

The whole conversation circles this main question: what good thing have you delayed because you are too afraid to begin? And what can you do to get it done already?
