At some point, you will have to learn to let go. There is an endless list of obligations and expectations, desires and ambitions, and worries and fears that will always be ready to insert themselves between you and the feeling of peace. If you never learn to let them go, there will never be enough.

It's never the right time, but right now is usually the best time.

I found this in a pile of notes to myself, and share here simply as food for thought... You want two things: 1. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity. No wasted movement. No wasted effort. 2. Compounding. Every project should have a long runway and feed the others.

Guilt lives in the past. 
 Worry lives in the future. 
 Peace lives in the present.

Two competing truths:

 – The more prepared person usually wins.

 – You get credit for action, not preparation.

You are not the cause of everything that happens to you, but you are responsible for how you respond to everything that happens to you.

In theory, consistency is about being disciplined, determined, and unwavering.

 In practice, consistency is about being adaptable. Don't have much time? Scale it down. Don't have much energy? Do the easy version. Find different ways to show up depending on the circumstances. Let your habits change shape to meet the demands of the day.

 Adaptability is the way of consistency.

Nobody is rooting for you to fail.

 Maybe you’ll succeed. Maybe you’ll fail. For the most part, nobody cares one way or the other.

 This is a good thing! The world is big and you are small, and that means you can chase your dreams with little worry for what people think.

It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment.

Just start. Start slow if you have to. Start small if you have to. Start privately if you have to. Just start.
