my favorite coworker told me the scenario she thinks of to fall asleep is she stumbles upon a baby sheep and has to raise it and it grows up and she has to shear it and she says she envisions shearing it so carefully that she always falls asleep at that part

Waiting until you feel “ready” to start is the biggest trap of all. The perfect moment simply doesn’t exist.
We tell ourselves things like: “I need more experience,” “I’ll wait until I’m less busy,” or “I’m not good enough yet.” But these are just excuses to run from our fears.
But every step you take today shapes the person you’ll become tomorrow. Remember this: nobody is born ready. Everyone grows into readiness. It’s a journey, not a destination.

It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!
"وحين تموت خذ معك فأسا لتكسر باب الفردوس إن أردت الدخول فليس لباب الفردوس مفتاح. لا مفتاح ولا بواب، المفتاح الوحيد هو الفأس .. لا تنظر إليّ برعب أيها الراهب الصغير والفقير والطيب. لقد قال الكتاب المقدس الشيء نفسه: إن الرجال العنيفين قد هيمنوا على السماء بالقوة"
