00:00:00.080 Give me less than a minute

00:00:01.400 and I'll delete your fear of starting for good.

00:00:03.560 I know what you're thinking, what if I fail?

00:00:05.480 What if people judge?

00:00:06.800 What if I start and I can't finish?

00:00:08.520 So you wait, another day, another week,

00:00:11.680 another year stuck on, someday.

00:00:14.400 But here's the thing,

00:00:15.400 that anxiety sitting in your chest right now,

00:00:18.160 it's worse than the actual work

00:00:20.320 because your brain is making it feel like some massive task

00:00:23.200 to protect you from discomfort.

00:00:25.320 So you find yourself waiting for that spark of motivation.

00:00:28.360 But here's the truth,

00:00:29.200 You don't need motivation, you need momentum.

00:00:32.060 And that only comes after you break the seal of inaction.

00:00:35.360 So find the smallest possible move.

00:00:38.140 Write one sentence, do one push up, take one step.

00:00:41.580 Imperfect action beats perfect inaction every time.

00:00:45.300 So once you take action, any action,

00:00:47.620 you've already won the hardest battle.

00:00:49.580 So stop waiting to feel ready to feel inspired.

00:00:52.440 And soon you'll wonder why you even had the fear

00:00:55.080 of starting in the first place.
