JD – If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat! Just get on. – Sheryl Sandberg

JW – Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. – Psalm 55:22

MS – Be not wise in thine own eyes: Fear the Lord, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, And marrow to thy bones. Proverbs 3:7-8

EB – It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles, then the victory is yours. – Buddha

The quote from Sheryl Sandberg stuck out to me.

If you’re like me you have experienced this. Spending too much time thinking about which seat, what the flight is going to be like, do I have the right stuff, what will everyone else think, etc. Instead of just getting on and enjoying the ride.

I’d guess that even the least risk averse amongst us have missed a rocket ship ride because of over-analyzing.

A little secret that most of us miss is that most rocket ships don’t look like rocket ships.

The big difference makers in our lives tend to start with a small first step. Taking that first small step.

Starting a new diet.

Starting to invest.

Reading a book instead of watching TV.

Committing to a new exercise program.

You’ll run into the obvious rocket ships along the way too.

Either way the key is to get on. To take action. Don’t overthink it. Just get started.

Make it a great day.
