13306: Initium Est Dimidium Facti

Hey there, hero!

So there’s some new idea or class or skill you’re facing. You’re juuuuust at the precipice of getting underway.

How valuable is the simple act of starting that, and not putting it off until later (or not following through at all)?

As the Roman poet Horace said in Epistles, "Initium est dimidium facti", he’s reminding us of what James Clear calls “the timeless importance of simply beginning the task at hand.”

What’s the translation?

"Once you've started, you're halfway there."

I’m not sure you realize just how powerful simply taking that first step is.

So, here’s my reminder of how energizing that is, and how limiting the hesitation to start can be.

Is it easy for you to take that first step? If so, how dies it feel? And if not, what are you fearful of? Let me know in the comments below.
