A friend shared this quote with me at a recent meeting.  It makes so much sense. If you don’t start, you can’t finish.  If you don’t attempt, you can’t succeed.  A philosopher once said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.”  The same is true a journey of a single mile.  After you take that first step, you begin to build momentum with each succeeding step.  This momentum then carries you along just like the wind currents carry a soaring eagle and pretty soon the destination is in sight.  People who are afraid to take that first step never experience this kind of excitement and they remain in the same spot their whole life.
