The Courage to Begin

 There is a strange honour in daring to try. It is the one who dares to do, who will have an opportunity to fail, and failure often arrives with a lesson that the cautious never meet. Staying at the blocks and not breaking inertia does not add to your feather; it only adds to your fears and your burden. Action exposes truth; inaction grows illusion.

Push. Pull. These two words are not a slogan; they are a practice. Push against the friction that says "not now" and pull toward the small, practical next step. Stop stalling, you. The delay that you dignify with a tomorrow will solidify into regret if you give it space to grow. The work is rarely glamorous, but it is always clarifying.

Do not stay in the place of indecisiveness or drown your ideas because fear looks larger than life. Fear is a shape you give your thoughts when you refuse to test them. Once you cut into that fear, its emptiness comes through. When you are not doing anything, the myth and the grandeur of fear know no end. Action collapses the story and exposes what is real.

Starting does not guarantee immediate mastery. It does, however, guarantee progress. It is only if you start that you will see mileage. You might not be at full throttle, but every time you look at your process, you are not who and where you used to be. Accumulated motion becomes momentum; momentum becomes reach.

If disadvantages bother you, address them, but do not let them be an excuse for remaining small. Perhaps you have spent years as an employee and are now being drawn toward an entrepreneurial path. What will you lose by taking a leap compared with doing nothing? Search deep, then plunge. Where you are limited, use your relationships to break barriers and build bridges. 

Take the first step that tells the world you are serious. Make that step visible. Tell one person, write the plan, ship the thing in public. Accountability is a gentle engine. It will prod you when comfort whispers for you to stay still.

Nugget: Do not wait for perfect conditions. Start where you are, with what you have, and let the road reveal itself.
