Taking that first step is always so hard. The scariest moment of an oral presentation is probably that nanosecond before you are about to speak. The most difficult part of an essay is opening a Word document and actually starting to write it. Now why is that?
Are we getting that used to convenience that we paralyze and freeze as soon as anything that's out of our routine or our comfort zone comes our way?
Studies say it takes 30 days to make something a routine; whether it is putting on sunblock everyday, reading or doing exercise. Sounds easy enough; yet those first 30 days seem like such a burden for us, many will simply decide it is not worth it.
Yesterday I read 'Never give up on a dream because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway' (by Earl Nightingale) and it is completely true.
What separates successful from non successful people is exactly that. Successful people never gave up, they started and never stopped improving.
A trick: Never allow yourself to go to bed without doing what you were supposed to do.
Even if it is washing your face or doing 20 push ups, don't allow any exceptions because later on exceptions will become the routine again and this will prevent change.
Whatever your goal or your dream is, start from the beginning and always keep going. 100% guaranteed that you'll succeed. Sure you'll probably stumble but never let that keep you from getting up and keep going.
I believe in you. Believe in yourself.
Let's do this !

P.S.: 'If it's not scary, it's not big enough'
