There’s a gripping fascination in society with the idea of starting.
Starting can be easy or it can be difficult based on what your lizard brain is telling you.
“It’s too easy… so why bother?”
“It’s way too difficult, you’re not good enough… let’s wait for something easier to come along.”
Of course, this is you telling yourself these things and it’s tough to break from it.
Better than thinking about where to start, I believe, is to consider where do you want to finish?
When you decide what the end result will be, the level of difficulty of starting doesn’t matter because you know where you need to start to get to where you want to go. Period.
Figuring out what that finish line looks like is much more consistently motivating. It helps you decide whether what you’re doing is the right thing or not. Merely ask, will doing X get me to my end goal? If yes, continue. If no, quit it.
Determine where you want to end up and what that looks like.
It makes starting a hell of a lot more rational and less fear-filled.
Stay Positive & Think Finish Line, Not Starting Line
