I remember a few years ago asking directions to somewhere I was speaking and actually being told "you can't get there from here". It made me smile and I had to actually force myself to listen to the instructions as to where to go to 'start'. I didn't say anything to the helpful old Louisiana man who was speaking slowly so he could understand my English accent, but that phrase has stuck with me ever since.
"You can't get there from here" - how many of us live our lives that way, waiting to start a new eating plan, a new exercise regime, learn a new skill. I wonder what percentage of the population are out there waiting until they are 'ready' I know I have done it (and still do)
This year I'm going to start before I'm ready - I'm not waiting to be 'good enough' or perfect at something any more.
So all those new years wishes, plans and resolutions.. why not start them now, before you are ready....
Think about it for a moment, if you started exercising now you would have done 3 days worth before new year so even if you take the day off on Jan 1st you are still ahead of the game.. same for a diet, learning a new skill, whatever you want to do.
So join me in living a little harder this year, lets start before we are ready... because there is always the danger that we will never be ready!
