“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.”
My understanding
Action is what turns ideas into reality. Talking and planning are important, but they mean nothing if I don’t follow through. This quote reminds me that the first step is often the hardest but also the most important.
Getting started doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s about taking that initial leap and learning along the way. The more I do, the more progress I make, and that’s what truly moves me forward.
Reminds me
-
“Top piece of advice in nearly every situation: Don’t overthink it.” from Jason Fried. This quote reminds me to keep things simple and focus on what matters.
-
“The cold water doesn’t get warmer if you jump late.” The hard things in life don’t change just because we delay them.
-
“There may be people that have more talent than you, but there’s no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do.” Success isn’t just about what you’re born with. It’s about showing up every day, putting in the work, and refusing to quit.
