Why I Write Articles About Organizing the 'First Step'

I don't want to fail.

So I research. I think.
I compare. I become cautious.

But the more I think, the more I become unable to move.
I used to repeat this over and over.

Even when I try to start something,
'There might be a better choice,'
'What if I fail?'
'Maybe I'm still not prepared enough.'

That's how I would go around in circles in my head and end up stopping.
And then I would get anxious again about not being able to move.

I have experienced this kind of 'stalling' many times.

That is why, when I write articles now, what I am thinking about is
not 'how can I try harder'.

It is 'why do people become unable to move'.

↓ These are the articles I have written.

There are many positive words in the world.
'Let's take on a challenge.'
'Let's just move first.'
'Let's learn from failure.'

Of course, there are people who can move with just that.

But the more cautious a person is, the less they can move with just those words.

Because for those who are standing still,
there is a reason for standing still.

・I don't want to fail
・I don't want to be disliked
・I don't want to regret it
・I don't want to be rejected
・I don't want to show my true feelings
・I don't want to be the only one losing out
・I don't want to feel embarrassed
・I don't want to be the only one left behind
・I don't want my ideas to be denied
・I don't want to do meaningless things
・I don't want to be thought of as a troublesome person
・I don't want to be thought of as someone who can't read the room
・I don't want to be thought of as someone who is too assertive
・I don't want to be thought of as someone who doesn't think about anything

Those emotions and reality are tangled up in the head.

That is why, rather than moral arguments,
I want to organize the 'structure of stalling'.

What are you feeling anxious about?
Where does your judgment stop?
Why do you overthink?

When you can organize those things,
people become able to move little by little.

I leave my experiences and thoughts in my articles.

Not just knowledge,
I want to leave behind 'how I thought and how I made decisions'.

Because I believe that what people truly struggle with is
not 'the lack of an answer',
but 'the lack of a framework for judgment'.

That is why, rather than polished success stories,
I want to write about the process of getting lost and the reasons for pausing.
I want to write about that.

I am still in the middle of trial and error myself.

Even so, if this article or these words
can make someone's 'first step' even a little bit easier,
I believe there is meaning in writing them.
