The pain of action starts out sharp but dulls quickly.

You just have to get over that initial hump, go from doing nothing to doing something, and maintain momentum.

The state of action will eventually become the baseline, and it won’t feel so painful anymore.

The pain of regret is opposite. It starts out soft, but gradually ramps up, until it’s unbearable.

And then it continues ramping up, escalating eternally.
