"If someone offers you an amazing opportunity and you're not sure you can do it, say yes - then learn how to do it later."

- Richard Branson

Richard Branson is one of those guys that seems to live in a space that others only dream of, so when he says something you want to listen... Quotes like this one can be incredibly inspiring and can provoke you into action when you're not sure if you should take something on or not.

I currently have an opportunity that I said yes to, so I'm kind of living out the sentiment of what's being encouraged here.

What his quote doesn't prepare you for, when you actually say, "Yes! I'll do it!", is the anxiety that comes when you start to think, "flip, I have actually never done this before." You get the job, but now you must figure out how to do thing thing you have to do... sheesh!

Sometimes you wake up at 3am thinking about what to do next... I have an idea, but I really don't know. I'll tell you when I find out how it goes. Whether it went well or not. I have a feeling that I'll pull it off though.

If you don't start now, you might never start...

I listened to a Seth Godin interview today and felt a little provoked... I'll explain.

One of my top five strengths, according to Gallup CliftonStrengths, is "Ideation." The cool thing about ideation is that in the right environment, I'm able to generate ideas—lots of ideas.

Unfortunately, I'm also quite good at procrastinating. Sometimes I get an idea to do something, like paint, create a graphic, or write a blog, but I get distracted or busy and forget about the idea.

I had an idea the other day. I thought it would be good to make a video blog of the walk over Nahoon Point along the boardwalk. If people liked it enough, I would consider taking other walks or rides to introduce them to some of the amazing spaces in East London.

I don't want to forget this idea, so I'm putting it here in the hope that if you read this, you'll hold me accountable—perhaps by giving me some encouragement or suggesting places that would be nice to showcase.

P.S. Look out for the video coming up in a few days!
