“You don’t have to be great at something to start but you have to start to be great at something.” Zig Ziglar

Meaning of the Quote:

In order for you to become great at something, you have to begin from where you are. You don’t have to be great at something before you begin, but just the mere fact that you begin something it puts you in a position to become better until you become great at something.

Discussion of the Quote:

Never put off starting something because you are not good at it. Start anyway and begin working on something and keep at it. Gradually you will get better at it. With consistency, determination and patience, you will eventually become great at it. The following are some additional steps that you can take to become great at something.

  • Practice - it has been said that practice makes perfect.
  • Learn from the Best - Learn from the experience of others who are successful at what you want to be great at. This will decrease your trial and error and speed up your success.
  • Take Risks - Risk taking can be devastating if things do not go well but they can also create great growth. There will be no growth if you do not take risks.
  • Be Motivated - You should be motivated about what you want to be great at. It requires time and effort to get great at something. Motivation will help to get you over the rough patches along the way.
  • Learn How to Measure Your Success - You should be able to know if you are making progress or not. This will help you to get better by working hard on the things that help you to succeed at what you are doing.
  • Have Patience, Passion and Persistence - You need to possess these qualities. With them, you will be able to ride the rough tide, stand the test of time and to keep going at it.

Final Thoughts:

You should always aim to be the best at whatever you are undertaking. Give it your all and no matter what the results are, you will have no regrets because you know that you have done your very best. Be never afraid to begin because you are not great at something. Begin anyway!

Good evening Nichola, this is a most wonderful blog. So many people Miss major opportunities because of fear. Fear of failure, fear of what someone may think, fear, thinking that you are not good enough, and the list goes on and on. However, as you have said, you just got to make that decision and go for it. Have a blessed night my friend, and had a most wonderful Holliday.

Someone with writer's block should begin simply and then release the power of the subconscious. I do this every day. It beats sitting around and waiting for inspiration.

The same is true for any other type of inertia. Just begin. The subconscious is infinitely more potent than the conscious mind.

The widely respected Admiral Willian McRaven wrote a book - "Make Your Bed". He pointed out that this simple task would set the agenda for a successful remainder of the day.
