Sometimes a simple little snippet can point to larger life lessons. Sample this:
‘Aoccrdnig to a research at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it does matter in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are. The olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pcale. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey ltteer by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.’
The road to success in life too is quite similar.
Getting started is key and learning to finish tasks is priceless.
I like the old saying that you don’t have to be great to get started but have to get started to be great.
You can have the most fabulous ideas, and some great plans, and the intent may never be in doubt, but all that is worth nothing if you don’t get started.
We often hesitate to get started, waiting for everything to be perfect and in place.
But remember that everything seldom falls into place!
Unfinished tasks are the biggest contributors to stress. Learn to finish tasks, and get them out of the way.
If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing badly at first.
Procrastination can be a sign that you’re doing something that’s not meaningful.
Don’t let procrastination become a habit.
After all, the worst procrastination is putting off your dreams and goals. If you’re waiting for the right time, Benjamin Franklin says: “You may delay, but time will not.”
If you don’t listen to me, listen to him.
Successful people make it a habit to finish what they have started.
So, if you have a big idea or a secret dream, take that first step. Today!
