Starting Is the Easy Part

Anyone can get started.

Starting is easy.

Starting feels good.

Starting is exciting.

...But starting doesn't mean shit.

If you want to win...

You have to finish.

...and that's the hard part because all of the real work happens in the middle.

You have to show up and put one foot in front of the other long past the time when the excitement of starting has died out.

It's when nobody's watching.

When nobody cares.

When the novelty has worn off.

When you're tired.

When you're frustrated.

When you want to quit.

That's the real challenge.

Not starting.

The world is full of people who get started and desperate for people who finish what they started.

Make sure you cross the finish line.

All of life's trophies are reserved for those who do.
