Getting Started is the Hardest Part

Getting started is often the hardest part.

Why do most people live lives of minimal consequence?
Why do most people not question the world around them?
Why do most people take the shortcut?

Because it’s the path of least resistance.
Because that old saying is true, ignorance is bliss.

Why tackle that new project today, when you can always start tomorrow?
Why write that new blog post when you’re so busy with everything else?
Why learn something new when your favorite TV show is on?
Why work today when the weather is so nice?
