Karen Lamb - "A year from now you may wish you had started today."

from the Daily Quote - Positive Daily Inspiration and Motivational Quote of the Day · host Andrew McGivern - Motivational Quotes and Daily Inspiration | Quote of the Day

Welcome to the Daily Quote – I'm Andrew McGivern. This episode is brought to you by the Great News podcast.Today's quote comes from Karen Lamb, who said:"A year from now you may wish you had started today."Think about that. One year from today, you'll be somewhere. Time will pass whether you start or not.The question is: will you be glad you started? Or will you regret that you didn't?Because here's what happens when you wait: a year passes. And you're still at the starting line. Still thinking about starting. Still wishing you'd begun.But if you start today? In one year, you'll have 365 days of progress. You might not be finished. You might not be perfect. But you'll be somewhere.Lamb is highlighting the pain of regret. Not the regret of trying and failing. The regret of never trying at all.A year from now, you won't regret the imperfect start you made today. You'll regret the start you postponed.Most people overestimate what they can do in a day and underestimate what they can do in a year. They want immediate results, so they never start.But small progress over a year compounds into something significant. The book gets written. The skill gets developed. The body transforms. The business grows.But only if you start. Today. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Not when conditions are perfect.Today.So here's the question: What have you been putting off? And how will you feel a year from now if you still haven't started?Because time will pass either way. You can't stop that. But you can decide whether you'll spend it making progress or making excuses.A year from now, you'll wish you had started today. So start.That's it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern – I'll see you in the next one with another Daily Quote.
