The thought is rooted in the idea that staying frozen while clinging to perfection will not get you anywhere, so you simply need to do something. This striving for constant action can become counterproductive when the action is treated as the end goal. Action should inspire the next step.

Real Life Runners with Angie and Kevin Brown142: The Pros and Cons of Labeling Ourselves As "Runner" Personal statements that begin with “I am” carry power and strength. They define us and lead our actions. They are our label, often empowering, but sometimes limiting. We also put labels on the world around us. We group people together as though they are the same person. We put simple labels onto situations and the people around us to make life easier. While this is often done subconsciously, and rarely for a malevolent reason, labels can be incredibly detrimental. Other people can feel confined or burdened by the label.
