Starting is the most important part of success, even though finishing is often thought of as having arrived. It’s so easy to get caught up in wondering about how things will turn out that we lose sight of getting started. Also, if you worry about failing, or coming up against obstacles along the way, this can deter you from even starting. But all of that is imaginary thinking because you only know what will really happen when you start moving towards your goal and deal with these challenges as you come upon them.
When we lose motivation, we start to look at the clock. Whether it’s on a daily basis or a yearly basis, we get lost in what we’re not doing. Instead, keep going. Focus on right now. Get things done today… right now.
You dream big. Some people say too big. But that’s those people. That’s their limitations. Don’t let their limitations hold you back from what you can accomplish. Today is the day to take action.
There might be someone out there who is more talented than you. Maybe they have more natural ability. Maybe they have more resources. The truth is, when you start working toward your goal, you’ll be stronger because you had to overcome those limitations.
You’re waiting until the perfect combination of time and place and people to converge. That’s going to be your sign from the universe to get going. Well, it’s not going to happen. You have to take action into your own hands. The universe doesn’t send out invites.
We already know that success doesn’t accept excuses. It’s completely true. When you give excuses, even to yourself, you’re just hiding the fact that you’ve given up. When someone offers an excuse, they should be offering you an apology.
The truth is that you have to start in order to finish. If you want to get ahead and work toward the goals you have in life, you have to start. You can’t keep procrastinating and giving yourself excuses as to why you can’t get it done today.
All animals have the same drive that we must have. Birds don’t rise in the morning and struggle with the alarm clock. They simply go about doing the things that fulfil their lives the best way they know how.
Today is the day you get off the couch, literally and figuratively. Stop putting off things that need to be done. Every step you take today is one less step you have to take tomorrow and the next day. Start with small steps and the big steps are easier
