Most of us have busy lives. We get up in the morning and from the minute we wake up to the minute we go back to bed the day is filled with a sometimes seemingly endless list of things we need to do.
Many of us sometimes dream of a simpler life, or a life that would at least allow for some time to do the things we truly love doing. The bolder ones of us even go as far as to dream that they could do what they love doing and make a living of it.
Have you ever caught yourself saying or thinking, “Yes, I’d love to do it, but I just don’t have the time, money, talent, intellect, education etc. to do it”. Imagine a big steel ball in front of you. It takes an initial effort to get the ball rolling, but once it rolls, it takes at least as much effort to stop the ball.
In many ways, getting started with whatever it is you’d like to do - but always had a reason not to start it - is like having the courage to say “Today is the day I decide to get the ball rolling and make time to really do the things I love doing”.
Once you’ve taken that decision 50% of your effort is already done. The rest is merely a question of keeping the ball rolling.
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with one single step”, Confucius
