Nothing happens until you start. Sounds obvious. Yet it’s practiced in the breach.

We inhabit an era with far too much talk and much too little do.

Look, I’m a serious evangelist for the necessity of rest, renewal and recovery. Wrote a lot about this in The 5AM Club and The Everyday Hero Manifesto.

Elite performance without strategic refuelling leads to an empty well. And sometimes, a chronic illness.

Yet that’s not my point here. My point is, instead, this one: fears unfaced become your limits.

Or another way to put it is that the discomfort of growth is always less than the heartbreak of regret.

Or another way to state it is that the job of a leader is to get things done and the calling of a human is to make their ethical ambitions real.
