No. 01 · The Starting Point
The verse
Before the first step, the road is unclear;
the morning light finds the one who rises.
What it means
New things do not need complete readiness before they start. Today suits taking the first step toward something you want to do, even if it is only looking something up or writing one line of a plan; the starting point itself has meaning.
Something to do today
- Write down the first concrete step of something you want to begin, and finish it today.
