My Realizations About Getting Started

1) You only need ONE thing to get started. One smile can start a friendship. One hand can lift a soul. One candle can wipe out darkness. One word, one child, one teacher, one pen and one book can change the world. Be that ONE.

2) You don’t have to be smarter than the rest. You just need to be more disciplined than the rest and get started.

3) Conquer yourself. Your success or failure in life or at work isn’t about other people. It’s your procrastination and excuses. Success happens when you grow yourself, not outgrow others. Winners focus on winning. Losers focus on winners.

4) Nothing changes if nothing changes. When you change how you see things, both you and the things you see change. You see the world what you carry in your heart.

5) Every teacher once was a student. Every winner once was a loser. Every expert once was a beginner. Small steps taken every day leads you to your success.

6) Perseverance is the multiplier of Talent and Potential. Success is not about who has more talent, but who is hungrier. A river cuts through a rock not because of its power, but its persistence. You can do anything you set your mind to, but it takes action, persistence, and the courage to face your fears.

7) Stress comes from ignoring things that you should not be ignoring. Break down the task and start small. A journey of 1000 miles start with one step. Don’t wait to be in the mood to do a certain task. Motivation follows action. Get started, and you’ll find your motivation will follows. Don’t worry about the darkness when you take that first step, for that is when the stars shine brightest.

8)You can become a person of value in a matter of months. Every mountain top is within your reach if you keep climbing. If you aren’t winning, you must be learning.

9) Once you start, no matter how long you have travelled in the wrong direction, you can always turn around. When you can’t change a situation, change yourself. Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.

10) Risk is better than regret. Take that first step. The biggest risk is not getting started. If you want something you’ve never had, then you must do something you’ve never done.

Don’t procrastinate. Take that first step.
