We make beginnings harder than they need to be. I spent years putting it off, studying and gathering information on this and that when I already knew everything. Yet it was never enough. I’m still tempted by all these courses and classes on how to. Now that I recognize that I’ve been procrastinating, avoiding and averting the commitment of myself, I am beginning.

I’m scrolling past and deleting all those enticing calls to better myself. School is over. It’s time to put away the books and begin. There’s nothing to fear. There are no absolute failures. There are no resounding successes. Somethings are better than others. Somethings are worse. Life just is. Begin to do something, anything. And if life gives you lemons, add volka.
