Day 265 of wisdom
“To begin, begin.”
William Wordsworth
Countless dreams never came to pass because the dreamer refused to wake up; so many visions were never brought to life because, the visioner never begun to act on his vision; the world never saw millions and billions of talents because, those carrying them waited for the best time to showcase them, which they never saw, even when it came. Myles Monroe once said, “The wealthiest place in the world is not the gold mines of South America or the oil fields of Iraq or Iran. They are not the diamond mines of South Africa or the banks of the world. The wealthiest place on the planet is just down the road. It is the cemetery. There lie buried companies that were never started, inventions that were never made, bestselling books that were never written, and masterpieces that were never painted. In the cemetery is buried the greatest treasure of untapped potential.”
A lot of people have gone to the grave with what they should have created and left on earth to immortalise them, but they never started. You may be blessed with a lot of talents, very skillful in certain arts, and have the vision to build something the world have never seen, you may have an idea that will transform the world, but if you refuse to start, if you never begin, nothing will happen, nothing will change.
Starting is the only way to achieving whatever you want to achieve, without a beginning there can not be a process, neither will there be a result. Do not wait for the right time, do not expect the best time to come before you begin. You may the afraid of failure, you may not be fully prepared, your dream may not be convincing to the people you share it with, but if you just start in spite of your fears, in spite of the discouragement, if you press on, and never quit you will come to a pleasant, and fulfilling end.
Like Mark Twain said, "the secret to getting ahead is getting started." if you don't get started you can't get ahead. Too many thoughts paralyses your drive to start, you begin to see why you can't start, what more you need to start, and you lose the drive to start, but if you just start, you get on track, and you get committed, you will discover that you just keep advancing forward, quitting will no more be an option as it will be a complete sabotage of your efforts. To begin, just begin.
