  Dot com Welcome to the Daily Quote, the podcast designed to
• 0:07
  kick start your day in a positive way.

  I'm your host Andrew McGivern, and this podcast episode is
• 0:14
  brought to you by the great News Podcast.
• 0:17
  Tired of all the doom and gloom news from mainstream media?
• 0:21
  You'll get none of that there. Instead, you'll find inspiring
• 0:25
  stories and developments making the world a better place.
• 0:29
  Find it in your favorite podcast app.
• 0:31
  And just to make it easy for you, I left a link in the show
• 0:34
  notes. And now let's dive into today's
• 0:38
  quote from Karen Lamb, who once said a year from now, you may
• 0:45
  wish you had started today. Think about that.
• 0:51
  One year from today, you'll be somewhere.
• 0:54
  Time will pass whether or not you start.
• 0:58
  The question is, will you be glad you started, or will you
• 1:01
  regret that you didn't? Because here's what happens when
• 1:05
  you wait. A year passes and you're still
• 1:09
  at the starting line, still thinking about starting, still
• 1:13
  wishing you'd begun. But if you start today, in one
• 1:18
  year you'll have 365 days of progress.
• 1:23
  You might not be finished, and it might not be perfect, but
• 1:28
  you'll be. Somewhere.
• 1:30
  Lamb is highlighting the pain of regret, not the regret of trying
• 1:34
  and failing, the regret of never trying at all.
• 1:39
  A year from now, you won't regret the imperfect start you
• 1:43
  made today, You'll regret the start you postponed.
• 1:48
  Most people overestimate what they can do in a day and
• 1:51
  underestimate what they can do in a year.
• 1:55
  They want immediate results, so they never start.
• 1:58
  But small progress over a year compounds into something
• 2:02
  significant. The book gets written, the
• 2:06
  skills get developed, the body transforms, or the business
• 2:12
  grows. But only if you start today.
• 2:16
  Not tomorrow, not next week, not when conditions are perfect
• 2:23
  today. So here's the question.
• 2:26
  What have you been putting off? And how will you feel a year
• 2:30
  from now if you haven't started? Because time will pass either
• 2:35
  way. You can't stop that.
• 2:39
  But you can decide whether you'll spend it making progress
• 2:43
  or making excuses. A year from now, you'll wish
• 2:47
  you'd started today. So start, that's going to do it
• 2:52
  for today. I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off
• 2:55
  for now, but I'll be back tomorrow.
