Starting is always interesting to watch. At one hand, it's exciting, it holds promise, it symbolizes change. It keeps our heart beat pumping fast.
On the other hand, it's crippling, it signifies a 50-50 chance of failing, it symbolizes uncertainty. It keeps our heart beat pumping fast.
Yup, the heart beats the same whether you're excited or in fear. But that's not what we're gonna talk about today.
Yes, before starting something, we will have our set of justifications, over-analysing of the situations, maybe doubts over the mission! Failure is painful, we all know that. It's a blow to our self-esteem, hurts our ego, makes us more careful, or sadly, skeptical, in the future.
Sometimes, too careful, till the point that we fail to act, which frankly, is gonna be a lot more painful. Research has shown again and again that we tend to regret more of things we don't do, other than the things we did. I'm pretty sure you can relate to that. The greatest stories comes not from those who wait, but from those who act.
So if you really feel like starting something, and you've got a decent plan mapped out, just go for it. Yes, know that you're gonna fail, and that's OK. Because when you succeed, you gain something way more - the confidence to start.
Mini Motivation is my own daily strategy to inspire myself. Mostly 3 minute reads.
From Motivation, we gain Inspiration. From Inspiration, we achieve Momentum. And the rest, they say, is history.
Hope it helps nudge you a bit too in the right direction.
