Who does the work? Who bears the consequences? Who reaps the rewards? When the incentives are aligned, it's the same person. - James Clear

Before you ask for readers, write the article you wish you could read. Before you ask for the sale, create the product you wish you had.

Before you need support, be the supportive friend. Before you need love, be the loving partner.

Always give value before you ask for value.

In some areas of life, value is unlocked by starting. Even a five-minute workout or a short walk can reset your mood and benefit your body.

In other areas, value is unlocked by finishing. It does you no good to build a bridge halfway across the river. You need to complete the project to realize the value.

Do you need to optimize for starting or finishing? Are you building a body or building a bridge?

Do not wait. If there is something you wish to do, go do it.

Death comes for busy people too. It will not pause and return at a more convenient time.
