Like most things, it is the consistency of moving forward one step at a time that will ultimately get you to where you want to go. Not a lottery win or a lightning strike. Small steps, consistently done. As Lao Tzu said in the Dao De Jing (Tao Te Ching, if you want to Anglicise it) “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
Regardless of the length of the journey, everyone must begin. So don’t delay. Start now. Start small. Start with something. But start.
Don’t wait until you can see the entire road ahead and until you can see that all the traffic lights on the road are turned to green. If you wait for that you will wait forever and never start. And if you never start you never move. You stay where you are. Stuck. Moaning about how shit everything is. Complaining about how it’s not fair. Curious about why you’ve got a taste of sand in your mouth!
Get on with it. For fuck’s sake!
