“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
--Will Durant
The path to success is paved with small consistent action. First you must begin. Just begin. Today. And then do a little bit each day until it becomes habit. You will never reach your destination by sitting and thinking about the length of the journey, rather, you must begin walking toward it. That begins with a single step. Worrying about the immensity of the journey will only cause anxiety and inaction. Stop thinking and start doing. Just begin. Today.
You will stray from the path from time to time. That is okay. The important thing is to forgive yourself for your wandering and return to the path. To stand on the side of the path and belittle yourself for having ever strayed doesn’t get you to the destination. Forgive yourself and return to the path. Today.
Action begets motivation, not the other way around.
