I'm Thinking I Need To Get Started

So, I've been on this trek for a while now. What trek you ask? Well, the one to unlimited wealth and world domination of course!!! (MANIACAL LAUGH!!) Seriously, I've had this dream of passive income for a long time and I always felt like the internet was a big part of that. The thing that often stymies my ambitions, however, is the start. You see, I'm something of a perfectionist or idealist, and that often keeps wonderful ideas and ambitions trapped within the confines of my own head, never reaching the light of day because they're not completely thought out. There's much more I could say about this, probably a book's worth at least, but the point is I've never really started much and that lack of a start has really been biting me in the you know where lately. Hence the title of this post.

I'm thinking I need to get started.

You see, I've passed the halfway point in life in terms of years, and I'm realizing that more is behind me than in front. The hands on the clock (digital now...so much for that imagery!) are moving faster and I've got to begin to have something to show for my time on this earth. I think more and more about what I've been given and what I'm doing with it. I don't want to be the servant who buried his talent instead of investing it (Matthew 25:14-30) and was considered wicked by his master. I want to be fruitful with what I have. I also want to leave a legacy and a model for my daughter so she won't struggle in the same ways I did.

Now pushing past my fears, accepting my imperfections, and placing greater value on all that God has blessed me with...

I think I'll get started!
