Summary

Marie Forleo lives her life by mantras. In this moment she shares one of her most powerful; “clarity comes from engagement not thought”. You have interests and aspirations but too often they seem more like impossible dreams than achievable goals, to this Marie says ignore the excuses and “get off the couch”, as you’re never going to figure it out there. Combined with this, Marie believes you have to uproot your fear of quitting and instead give yourself permission to experiment and start before you’re ready, as there will never be a more perfect time than now.
