Getting started is half done

by ClayHebert on June 21, 2009

Dad and me

I’ve never packed my gym bag, drove halfway to the health club and then talked myself out of the workout and turned back around.

I’ve never chopped all the ingredients for a big dinner, preheated the pan and then changed my mind and ordered pizza.

I’ve never hauled the boat to the lake and then decided not to fish.

I’ve never left a half full cart in the middle of the grocery store.

I’ve never mowed half the lawn.

My dad always used to tell me, “getting started is half done”. I’m old enough now to know that he didn’t invent the phrase but I’m experienced enough to know that he’s right.

Thanks, Dad.
