Start

Starting is the hardest part.

Most people never make it to action.

They stop after the idea. That's the easy part.

The same feeling of uncertainty can exist while feeling the pure joy of beginning, since you haven't encountered any opposition or doubt yet.

But those that push past the beginning fear, and continue to push past the inevitable opposition, are the ones that succeed.

Maybe not on that.

Or the next thing.

But eventually, they'll succeed. Because they have the courage to see it through.

Whatever "it" is.

So, just start.

Then, keep going.

Someone wise a few years ago told me that when God lays something on my heart to do, do it. It's just one small step in a big adventure.

What's your small step?

Something that you don't think would work.

Something you don't think you're prepared to do.

Something that couldn't possibly be successful.

Something you aren't qualified for.

Go for it.

then, let me know if you do. I'd love to hear :)

Here's something that really helped me:

I decided that I would rather look back at this a year from now and be glad that I gave it a shot even if it didn't work out, rather than look back and wish I'd tried.
