Summary
If I haven't started, it's usually not because I lack ability or information. It's because resistance to action is still holding me back while I wait for the perfect conditions. I stop waiting for motivation because it comes and goes, but discipline shows up consistently. Once I remove the resistance, I can finally take action and get the ball rolling.
