There are two fatal errors that keep great projects from coming to life 1. Not finishing 2. Not starting
Just read this little story and you will get the message.
While living in a farming community, a group of people planned to erect a new house for community living. For several months plans were discussed and as usual there were a lot of disagreements, of some agreements but not full agreements. While this was happening, one of them went out to the site with a plumb line and began to hammer stakes into the ground. It wasn't long before a prototype house was built.
The essence : You can think a project, and think about it for a long time too, but only action will manifest it. If you wait until your entire plan is ready, you'll never get anything off the ground. Do not wait until all conditions are met and satisfied. Do not wait for conditions to be perfect too. Most times beginning makes the conditions perfect.
Lord Krishna, in his Bhagavad-Gita to Arjuna says, "Work through my hands to bring about the things that will serve you. At the end of the narration, a convinced Arjuna responds, "I step forward with the trust that Spirit is moving through me to create good.
Moral: Not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.
