Why Try To Get Out Of Your Box, When You Can Use What's In It?
Trial is not talking to a friend about an idea.
Trial is not writing the idea down.
Trial is not giving it to someone else to do.
Trial is doing, taking action, shipping, and putting yourself at risk.
Stay Positive & Worry About Errors Later

I walked into a café yesterday and as soon as I reached the counter I was asked what I wanted. I had yet to look at what specials they had to offer. Of course, the majority who walk into a café know what they want (despite the minute they take to look over everything on the menu just to order the usual). So let’s just say the barista wasn’t rushing me to order. However, he was rushing to take my order. The quicker he gets it, the quicker (earlier) he can start to fulfill it. But then what? An order done gets you a customer. But businesses – if they want to be successful – should not be going after customers, they should be going after friends. Friends are certainly going to buy more, visit more often, and bring their friends with them. Spare the minute rushing to take an order and use it to connect, to make a friend.

Robert Frost never got to finish his sequel. His sequel goes something like this: “After taking the road less travelled, I soon found myself at another fork in the road.”
When one stops looking for the quick and short way, and instead goes the route of challenges, obstacles, and facing fear, the long and rough shapes itself into the quick and short.
Most people realize this, however, its “tragic” because now you have to do the long and rough more often.

The best time to start is when you have all your ducks in a row.
Th best time to start is when you are fully invested for.
The best time to start is when you have a safety net.
The best time to start is when someone waves the green flag.
The best time to start is when success is a guarantee.
The thing is. The best time to start isn’t the only time to start.
It just so happens that the way to bring the best time to start in your life is to start when things are ambiguous, when they are uncertain, when it’s not safe, when you feel uncomfortable, when it’s a heartfelt risk.
Stay Positive & Start Now

is always the best time to start.
There’s a wonderful reminder that I’ve worked up to counter the most common reason to not start now: you’re already behind.
I call it the One Bite Away reminder.
Imagine you start a diet (maybe you are currently on one) and things are going great. You’ve lost a few pounds, built some muscle, and even feel better. But then you begin snacking over the weekend.
Now you’re behind.
And since you’re behind, you might as well toss the diet plan. You messed up. You failed. Forget it. Maybe next year. Maybe in the summer. Maybe when you get enough motivation to ask someone to do it with you. Maybe when you build up to it again. Maybe when you get your feelings hurt.
Why we don’t realize that being slightly behind is a lot better than continuously getting further behind, I don’t know.
What I do know is that when you are behind, you’re only One Bite Away from getting back on the diet, back in the groove, back in the zone.
Seems pretty simple when you put it that way doesn’t it? One bite – not one hundred bites, not a week behind, not five pounds. One bite.
That’s how it is with any “diet.”
