Just Start Something

It's been six minutes since I sat on my computer trying to write something I hope can help me or you become a better version of ourselves. But the more I sat, the longer it took, but the moment I started writing, things started coming. At this point, what you are reading is from putting my hands on the keyboard and getting started with the task of the day.
Not even sure what the title of this piece would be, but one thing I am most certainly sure of is I want to have a piece that can help someone become a better version of themselves. Seeing the goal and getting started is important, how you get to your destination might sometimes not be in your control. What you can sometimes control is what you hope for and just getting started.
So as you read this piece today, what is something you have been aiming and hoping for? No matter how big it is, is there something you can get started with today that can get you closer to that? There always is and I want you to get started on that. The hurdles always seem bigger than they normally are, but you never know how difficult a hurdle is until you give it a try.

That we did not succeed by trying does not mean we failed, at least we tried and that is a success. To try and keep improving on what we want is the way to grow. Growth is what you ultimately seek. Not success immediately, but growing every day. The cumulative growth every day would one day become the success you have been looking for all along.
But to ever imagine that success, you have to start the work. The work or action you put in today creates the steps of growth that lead to your success. You have to start somewhere and keep going. Today is just the perfect time to get started. Thanks so much for your time and God bless.
