On a roll

The more you start, the more opportunity comes as one thing leads to another.

If you never start you remain stuck in your cell of isolation and fears.

Starting opens the door to everything if we seek it.

One project brings the next, one tweet may connect you with that right person, one blog may get read by someone who needs your skills, a song you sing might just strike a chord with the right person, one new customer who sees your website might refer you. Might, maybe, could, all comes from making a start.

Not starting leads to nothing but self-doubt, over-thinking, regret and isolation from ideas and options.

There are no guarantees from starting, just a chance, but there is certainty from not starting, and that is certainly nothing.

Start and get on a roll.

Patience

It is a hard thing to master.

However, in today’s world of instant expectation and instant disappointment, patience is a virtue that is worth acquiring.

It’s a question of adjusting our expectations and realising most of the good things in life take time.

The more we are prepared to be patient, the less disappointment we have in life and the more we appreciate things of real value.

Better to have a few wonderful things that take a while to come, than to have many shallow things that can come instantly and are of no worth.

Be patient, life works out well.
