Knowing is not enough; we must apply!

Step up and start

The bolts are rusty. But give them a forceful turn of the wrench and you just might be able to loosen them.

The stack of papers is twenty inches high. Yet one page at a time, you can get everything organized and in its place.

Your good ideas will receive some pushback. Go ahead and lay them out anyway.

It’s very easy and appropriate to anticipate all sorts of problems and challenges. But you don’t have to let that stop you.

Anything worth doing is going to be demanding. The sooner you step up and start addressing those demands, the better.

Rather than letting the potential problems stop you before you start, let them prepare you and inspire you. Then step forward and discover just how well you can work your way through them.

— Ralph Marston
