Nothing Happens Until Something Moves
Momentum is built, not found.
We often wait for clarity before we act —
for the right plan, the right energy, the right moment.
But movement itself creates clarity.
Energy follows motion — not the other way around.
I’ve seen it in training, in writing, in life.
When I’m stuck, it’s rarely because I don’t know enough.
It’s because I’ve stopped moving.
One small step — a short walk, a written line, a call made, a task started — changes everything.
Not because it guarantees success, but because it breaks inertia.
It tells your mind: we’re in motion again.
You don’t need the full plan to begin.
You just need enough movement to wake up your momentum.
Progress doesn’t start with perfection.
It starts with movement — even messy, uncertain, imperfect movement.
Because once something moves, everything changes.
Nothing happens until something moves.
