My father used to say "an Italian hand for a German eye"
Meaning, I think, look carefully first, but having done that, act decisively and quickly.

We should at least take a glance at the landing site before we leap to avoid falling flat on our face or getting stuck in the mud. But we can never reach 100% cerainty in our undertakings. Looking too long can make us miss great opportunities, not looking at all can get us into trouble. Finding a happy medium is an art.

You can over think things and end up making the wrong decisions. Sometimes the best decisions are made quickly going with the gut. What happens is when you over think things you actually create the very problem that you most fear.

You do the looking. Let others leap.

Sounds like you can't make decision on things, and you wait for out comes in stead of taking control of your life.
