@visakanv @nosilverv while "just do it" is a bit forceful, it asks one to do it regardless of the difficulties or problems along the way. maybe for a person who has internalized the concept already, both are similar, even same. but i'd say due to the phrasing, it makes them significantly different.

[ricky @agenticaa]

@visakanv @nosilverv i think, just do it and you can just do things are similar but really different concepts. although at a meaning level both seem similar
you can just do things is a liberating thought. it just unlocks that mental barrier of action in an optimistic way.
