Let’s do some math.

Don’t worry, it’ll be fairly easy.

Okay, are you ready?

Here you go.

0 x 10 =?

Too easy?

0 x 100 =?

Still too easy?

0 x 1,000,000 =?

One more.

1 x 1,000,000 =?

Did you get them correct?

I hope you did.

Do you know the percentage increase from 0 to 1?

If you said 100% then you are correct.

So why all the math?

To illustrate a point.

The difference between action and inaction is the difference between 0 and 1.

If you know anything about cars, then you’ll be aware the first gear that engages provides the most power to the transmission because that’s what’s needed to get the car moving.

It’s between 0 and 1 where you’ll have to gather your power, your courage, and lean into your faith as you take your first step. And your reward for doing so is that your first step will get you moving and provide you the initial momentum you need.

If there’s something you want to accomplish and you don’t take the first step towards it, then there’s literally no chance of you accomplishing it.

And yes, even if it’s the wrong step. Because in many cases you’ll learn even more from being wrong than you will from being right.

So if there’s something you want to accomplish, get yourself in gear and take the first step today. You’ll be 100% farther along than you were yesterday, and hopefully, now armed with just a little additional courage and knowledge, you can take the second step tomorrow.
