I read something that blew my mind. It sais : Live as if you have acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act right now.
I think this quote is very efficient against procrastinating. But it cannot really help with taking serious decisions like : should I study this or that, should I move there or there..
But it's still a quote to live by.
Your thoughts ? Any similar quotes ?

Does it mean something like "don't be afraid of failure or making a mistake"? Well, fine.
Any similar quotes? Sure.

Hmm, not sure I got it tho.

@Babino Oh I see. It was difficult for me to understand, I tend to avoid thinking of "what if" scenarios. Maybe it's more like "make your future-self proud of your present-self".

Yes, such quotes can get us thinking.
This one is very similar to yours.
