The Courage to Begin What Truly Matters
Life isn't a dress rehearsal. This simple yet profound truth forms the foundation of "How to Begin." Since we only get one shot at life, we should embrace what Michael Bungay Stanier calls a double ambition: becoming our best selves while making the world better. This isn't about grand, headline-making gestures - sometimes the most important contributions happen in intimate spaces, improving a key relationship or bringing positive change to your immediate community. What makes this approach particularly compelling is how these ambitions amplify each other. By taking on hard things - what Stanier calls your "Worthy Goal" - you simultaneously build your own capacity while making the world better. This creates a virtuous cycle where personal growth and positive impact reinforce each other. The beauty of this framework is its universality. It works regardless of your social position, the scale of your ambition, or where you are on your journey. The only prerequisites are sensing your own ambition stirring, knowing you have more to contribute, and being ready to begin. Being too scared to act isn't just your loss - it's everyone's.
