On Immediate Action
Hit it while the metal's red
When metal gets hot enough, it glows. That’s when you know you can shape it into whatever you want.
It’s when blacksmiths can easily make big changes to it, whether they hammer it into a thinner blade or a thicker chest plate. If they wait too long, the metal cools. It becomes almost impossible to shape at that point.
I'm seeing now that inspiration and motivation are the same way.
They come out of nowhere, those two.
You randomly see one painting then BANG—you’re inspired. Or Spotify recommends you a different song and then BOOM—you’re motivated.
Those are when the metal glows. It’s red hot.
Immediate action then will make the biggest change. Wait too long and it cools off.
Then no impact was made and all remains the same.
