A simple rule for life and work: Don't rush, but don't wait. Thoughtful action. - James Clear

If the only reason you're not pursuing a dream is because of the length of time it will take to achieve it, you should start right now. Think long-term.

Before you dream about the view from the summit, ask yourself if you're willing to keep your head down, focus on the path, and spend your life walking up the side of a very big hill.

It takes years of walking to earn a minute at the top.

Anticipate, but don't expect.

Anticipation: You're excited for what the future holds, but you don't try to control it.

Expectation: You try to predict the future and restrict your happiness to one outcome.

Always be excited about the possibilities. Never be entitled to them.
