In short: Sometimes, not knowing the details can help you achieve more.

The Power of Ignorance

There's a saying: They didn't know it was impossible, so they did it. Sometimes, not knowing all the intricate details of a task can actually be beneficial. Ignorance can lead to progress because you're not bogged down by the complexities.

Tiny examples: book writing and running

People often say writing a book is complicated. But if you don't know that, you'll just write. Maybe it won't be perfect, but you'll get it done. The key is to start without overthinking. That's how I started writing books.

If you want to run a marathon, just start running. Don't worry too much about the specifics at first. Just get moving. That's how I started running.

Actions often come before thoughts.

Actions Before Thoughts

When aiming to achieve something, or to start something new, it's not always crucial to research every detail beforehand. Sometimes it's better to dive in and learn as you go. The ignorance of not knowing can lead to positive shortcuts.

So, if you want to make something happen, start with actions and learn along the way.
