Failure is guaranteed if you never begin.

“I choose to start for just five minutes.” Do I actually stop working on a task after just five minutes? Only rarely.

C.S. Lewis on the value of starting where you are:

“You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”

An imperfect solution that exists outperforms a perfect one that doesn't.

Waiting for perfect conditions is how otherwise intelligent people keep themselves stuck.
