Begun is half done. So Horace said this, and that's it, isn't it? It's— if you get started on something, that's often what actually puts you on a path to completing it. And certainly if you don't get started, nothing will happen. I think Michael Jordan said something along the lines of, you'll miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Same idea. You gotta get going. You gotta shoot in order to see if you can hit or if it's a miss. So begun is half done. Go do something today that you've been wanting to do for a long time.
