The miracle isn't that I finished.

The miracle is that I had the courage to start.

John Bingham.

We all share a commonality.

The runner on the starting blocks.

The one at work, the one studying, the one trying to create the best life possible for their family.

See, we are all at a beginning, looking up at an idea.

Nothing given, nothing to adjust or react to no just an idea.

And ideas, when we are at the bottom looking up,

they're deceptive in nature, their size, their weight, their breadth.

They like to present themselves as much more than they actually are.

And so, to turn ideas into things one needs see themselves, not as some

descendant of Mount Olympus tasked with lifting that 2,000-ton boulder before them, but as

one armed with an understanding the awareness that the 2,000-ton boulder before them, but as one armed with an understanding, the awareness that the

2,000 ton boulder before them can be broken down, piece by piece, that it is nothing more than

a facade, and while it may stop most in their tracks, you are simply not most. Not because the world treats you differently,

but because you see the world differently. By knowing you are bigger than the sum of its

parts you have defanged this wolf, you have put yourself in position to do that which makes the world tremble,

that which causes even the most confident to doubt, you have put yourself in position to begin.

See, there is a time to look at the top of the mountain, breaking through the clouds, powerful and majestic.

And then there is a time to look at your feet.

And right now is the latter.
