Starting out is hard.

Some words of encouragement attributed to the first century AD stoic philosopher named Epictetus.(Sharon Lebell's interpretation)

STARTING OUT IS HARD
"The first steps toward any goal are the most strenuous because our weak and stubborn souls dread exertion (without absolute guarantee of reward) and the unfamiliar. As you progress in your efforts, your resolve is fortified and self-improvement progressively becomes easier. By and by it actually becomes difficult to work counter to your own best interest.

By the steady but patient commitment to removing unsound beliefs from our souls, we become increasingly adept at seeing through our flimsy fears and our lack of self control." Epictitus
