Ready Fire Aim

Most people spend so much time lining up the shot, making sure it is perfect, worrying if they are not accurate they will miss the target--they spend so much time aiming they never actually get around to firing. What is your teenager so concerned about messing up that s/he is afraid to take action because of fear of failure? Or maybe fear of success?
Some people do not act becasue they figure when others see how completent they are they will be asked to do more and more will be expected of them all the time. Meeting the high expectations of others can be very stressful.
Do you know that airplanes fly off course more of the time than they do on course? The plane constantly adjusts systems to bring it back on course. I recall being on one flight where the wind was so strong I am certain we were flying on an angle forward (the door to the cockpit was open and I could see our direction) rather than directly forward much of the time and still we reached our destination. The important thing is take action. Make adjusments afterward. All great work is constantly being revised and updated. Let your adolescent know whatever s/he does is better than doing nothing.
