Get Started Today

Zig Ziglar said,?“You don’t have to be great to start, but you do have to start in order to be great.”?

Nothing in life is accomplished automatically.

Great things don’t happen just because we want them to.

Wishing doesn’t quite work in real life the way they do in fairy tales and Disney movies.

Hope is not always a great strategy. We have to get started. We have to?put some action behind our desires.

I don’t know what your goals are today. I don’t know what’s most important to you or what you want to accomplish, but I’m guessing there’s something on your mind.

All great achievements begin as a simple thought, but then they need to be acted upon. Just like Zig Ziglar said, we have to get started.

Where do you want to be a year from now? Well, you won’t get there if you don’t get started.

A year from now you’ll wish you started today.

The future seems so far away but when it arrives, it seems like the past went so quickly. Start today.

As the old ancient proverb says,?“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
