Just get started.
Just get started.
The longest time in the world is the hesitation between thought and action.
Well, at least it has the potential to be the longest time.
It can actually be forever, forever.
Einstein, his theory was that time is flexible, time is pliable.
And to prove that, beyond what Einstein said,
One second can actually become an eternity.
That's how much you can flex.
You can hesitate for one second to get started on something, a workout, a project, a task, something that you know you should do.
You can hesitate for one second.
That one second of hesitation, all of a sudden it turns into five seconds.
And then 10 seconds.
And then 10 minutes.
And then just like that, you drifted into the eternity zone.
One second became an eternity because something that was going to happen is now never going to happen, ever.
Why is that? Because you hesitated.
You hesitated. So don't take that chance. Instead, take action.
Take action. A body in motion tends to stay in motion. A body at rest tends to stay at rest.
You've had enough damn rest. Go take action.
