Every Journey Begins with a Single Step

I know it is often the reader, but I do think sometimes writers feel inspired.  I felt what James Clear said in his email this week was inspired.
“Running one mile has more in common with running a marathon than sitting at home.  Investing $100 has more in common with being a millionaire than being broke.  Writing one sentence has more in common with writing a book than never writing one.
It always feels small in the beginning and the big goals seem far away. It's easy to talk yourself out of the early attempts because they feel kind of meaningless.
But every race starts with one step. Every fortune starts with a small deposit. Every book begins as one sentence.
The real question is not "What is my current position?" but rather, "What is my current trajectory?" Doing nothing builds nothing. Put yourself on the path to something better. Start small, but make sure you start."*

I would add it is never too late to start.  Looking back and saying “that would have been good 30 years ago, but it is too late” is self-defeating.   My thinking is it is only ever too late while I think it is too late.  Doing it 30 years ago would have been good for sure, but the fact is I didn’t.
I sit at home in our “shed” (a very liveable shed mind) working on stuff and I admit sometimes I ask myself why. Yet I know I will be like this till the day I die.  A couple of my favourite sayings come into play. “Available people prepare” and “lots of little make a lot.”
I got an email from someone yesterday thanking me for something.   In writing back I thanked them and admitted I do stuff without any attached “gooy” feelings.  What I do is often less feelings based then doing what I think is the right thing to do.  I am often unaware of the effects yet am told they are good.
I think that is just a result of doing stuff despite associated feelings.  Putting one foot in front of the other must get me somewhere and it seems life is not just about a destination but a journey.
