Laozi: Tao Te Ching, Chapter 63
“Anticipate things that are difficult while they are easy, and do things that would become great while they are small.”
Reflection
The large task intimidates because you meet it at full size. Meet it while it is small: the first email, the first page, the first ten minutes.
