The Courage to Start

It’s a weird time, true, but don’t let that stop you. Maybe you’ve been using the quarantine to think about what you really want to do, googling, “how do I find my purpose?” You might feel more awareness about yourself, but you’re also stuck. Maybe you’ve been laid off, or work has slowed down, or work has sped up, or you’re more worried about money or you are home with the kids and don’t have as much time; things are different, very different. You have new ideas and more clarity but you don’t know what to do with them. So you keep reflecting and searching and waiting. Waiting until all of this passes.

Don’t wait. We need you to start. You have something to share with us that you aren’t sharing and we need it. We really do. What’s next doesn’t have to be perfect. But it does need you to take action. It won’t just show up one day. It will appear through trial and error. It doesn’t have to be the thing you’ll do forever or the thing you’ve searched your entire life to find. Take the pressure off and just start.

I want to get in shape but I don’t …

Start.

I have an idea for a business but I don’t think …

Start.

I want to go outside, I know it’s good for me to get some sun but I’m …

Open the door and walk outside.

It’s not as hard as you think it is to get started. How you will feel after you start? Take on that feeling and let it push you into action.

So what are you waiting for?
