We often wait for motivation before starting something important. We tell ourselves that we will begin when we feel more confident, more energetic, or more inspired. But one of the practical ideas in The ABZ Book is that action often comes before motivation, not after it. Taking even a small step can create momentum and make the next step easier. The book also encourages us to recognize the difference between dreaming and doing. Dreams are valuable because they give us direction, but they accomplish little unless they are followed by action. Starting the day with something scheduled and purposeful can also help create a productive rhythm. This article explores the simple but powerful idea that progress does not always begin with a feeling. Sometimes, the best way to become motivated is to stop waiting for motivation and begin. Dream first, perhaps—but eventually, you must do.
