Just Begin

Your first workout will not be perfect.
Your first podcast will not be perfect.
Your first speech will not be perfect.
Your first video will not be perfect.
Your first ANYTHING might not be perfect.
but you can't make your 50th without making your first.

So put your ego and over-thinking aside, and 'just begin'. Don't let fear of failure stop you from taking the first step.

Remember - "Start is always tough & done is better than perfect". Just get started and put something out in the world, even if it's not where you want it to be eventually, rather than endlessly perfecting something!

Consider that what you're doing today is taking you closer to your goals for tomorrow.

I wanted to begin writing from a long time but couldn't begin fur to some thing or the other. Some days I had to create the draft list of topics somedays the images with the content were not perfect and somedays life happened and other items went up the to-do list. I then read a few lines about 'just begin' on LinkedIn and thought yeah! why not?

This is my first post on medium on the first day of 2023 & I intended to share my fear and motivation with all of you.

I would like to conclude by telling you things you probably already know :

1. Fear will keep you stuck. Push past it.
2. Action is the antidote to fear.
3. Don't compare yourself to others. Just start.
4. Practice makes perfect if you don't practice. It
can't get better.
5. Don't compare yourself to those who started years before you.
