It's usually hard to embark on a journey.
Embarking requires a strong desire and guts to deal with uncertainty. It also needs the initiative to sort out how to march - a plan.
Embarking depends on the story we tell ourselves. A positive story or a negative one.
A positive one may not turn into a reality, but it provides the necessary motivation to keep going and the self-assurance required if we run into a stumbling block.
Conversely, a negative story can potentially freeze us from acting. It feeds us with resistance and reasons to find ways against acting.
On the other hand, stories are reflections of our inhibitions and self-doubt that stem from fear of the unknown.
Sidestepping our inhibitions is futile. We must see them in the face, confront and find a believable story that makes us move.
There will be occasions when we feel hopeless, out of ideas, and out of luck.
Stories are rooted in our experience. We just need to inspect the stories we tell ourselves. We must also know which ones we can live without.
Stories are the best ways to create motion.
