Reach is an active word. Things within reach still require the arm to extend, and standing under the shelf is not the same as taking the jar down.
Most people are closer to what they want than they think, and further into waiting than they would admit. The gap isn't distance. It is the small uncomfortable motion — the ask, the application, the message sitting unsent since Tuesday.
What could you physically do today that would count as reaching? Send it. It is usually four sentences long and takes less time than the deliberating already has.
