A Good Reminder To Begin

A Good Reminder To Begin

This is such a good reminder to begin.

Everyone is paralyzed with what they might do, what they are going to do, and what they want to do.

Start doing.

Your issue is that you have not started.

What if the work that you think is just ok, everyone loves – and the work that you love, everyone else thinks is just ok?

Start where you are.

Reminds me of Garyvee.

“It drives me nuts when I hear people say, “But I can’t always do my best work.” If you can’t do your best work, then do your second-best work. But whatever you do, move! Get going!”

-Andy Andrews, The Seven Decisions

Start Where You Are

Start Where You Are

Get out and start where you are.

I mean, be encouraged today.

Whatever you are going to do, whatever you are afraid of doing, is probably not as bad as you think.

I like the take that Tim Ferriss has on defining your fears.

So forget about the timing.

Forget about what you wish you could have done.

What you would have done.

All you can do is start.

Maybe read this book too.

Go for it.

Just start.

“Whatever thing seems too intimidating or enormous, whatever new skill seems too far off to develop, whatever project has been hanging over your head for what seems like forever: start where you are.”

–Shauna Niequist, Bread And Wine
