Start

In order to finish anything, you have to take the first step. You have to start in order to actually accomplish what you set out to do. If you never start, then you will never finish or reach the destination. It really is that simple.

Every single process has a starting point. It usually starts as an idea and then is developed into a plan. The plan is developed and then put into action. Once action is taken, consistently over time, then the results come. It is usually not this simple and smooth in real life, but that is the general pattern.

One example to keep in mind, that will help you understand the process and the importance of getting started, comes from a seed. Let’s use an apple seed for this example. If the apple seed is never planted, watered, or put in the right amount of light, it will never become what it could or should become. The apple seed will not have a chance to flourish and bear more fruit if it is never planted, watered, or put in enough sunlight. Without the initial step, the starting point, the apple seed will never reach its full potential.

If you are passionate about an idea that you have. Get to work. Put together a game plan. Seek some advice from someone with experience. Then get to work.

Get out of your own way. Get out of your own head. Start doing the thing! Stop thinking about what might go wrong. Start thinking about what could go right! Remember, if you never start, you will never know.
