A quiet path beginning at first light, representing the courage to start before you feel ready

You can spend a long time waiting for the moment when fear disappears, the plan becomes complete, and you finally feel certain. The problem is that important beginnings rarely arrive with that kind of certainty. They usually begin while part of you is still doubtful.

Readiness is often not something you find before action. It is something you build through action. The first step gives you information that thinking alone cannot give you.
