\u2018Yeah, but that\u2019s easier said than done.\u2019<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I hear that a lot when it comes to changing and learning and building and progressing in general.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
People say it with a weary, stern look on their face.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It\u2019s the end before the beginning.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It\u2019s looking at the mountaintop and staying in the valley.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It\u2019s giving up before even giving it a try.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Of course many skills and goals are really hard to master and reach, but that is SO obvious that you really don\u2019t need to mention it.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It\u2019s useless, not rational. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It\u2019s like creating your own roadblocks.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Like inviting exhaustion before taking the first step.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2018Easier said than done\u2019 is a desperate conclusion that gets you nowhere.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It takes the wind out of your sail.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Stop saying it.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Stop holding yourself back.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Just fucking start.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
