Most people wait for the “right moment” to begin anything important — a new project, a habit change, a skill, or even a conversation. But the truth is, the right moment rarely arrives on its own. What actually creates momentum is the simple act of starting before you feel fully prepared. Taking the first imperfect step breaks the mental resistance that keeps you stuck. Once you begin, your brain shifts from hesitation to problem-solving, and what once felt overwhelming suddenly becomes doable. The clarity you were waiting for appears only after you move, not before.

Starting early also builds a quiet kind of confidence. You realise you don’t need every answer in advance — you just need motion. Every small step teaches you something the planning phase never could. And over time, these tiny actions compound into meaningful progress. The people who grow the fastest are not the ones who wait for perfect conditions; they’re the ones who create progress out of imperfect ones. Start small, start unsure, start messy — but start.
