Without The Beginning There is Nothing

The beginning is the most important part of the work. – Plato

Why?

Because without the beginning there is no in-between and no ending.

So often the hardest thing is to begin.

But there’s magic in starting.

How?

Because it’s always easy to do a little more (once you’ve started . . . ).

It can feel hard to start because it (often) feels like there’s everything to do.

But that’s an illusion, a mistake of thinking.

Solved, as always, with choosing a different thought.
