Progress is messy. Do it anyway.
Don’t wait to feel ready. Just begin—imperfectly.
Happy Sunday!
Five minutes each week to reset, reflect, and move forward with intention.
1 INSIGHT TO CONSIDER
You don’t need more time. You need less hesitation.
Most of the time, we don’t need to think more, plan more, or wait until we feel more ready. We just need to move—imperfectly, awkwardly, inconsistently. That’s how momentum begins. And momentum is where clarity lives.
2 REFLECTIONS TO SIT WITH
You don’t need to be perfect to be powerful.
Movement—even small, messy movement—creates the path.
3 PROMPTS FOR THE WEEK
What’s something I’ve been waiting to “get right” before I start?
What’s the smallest version of progress I could make today?
Where in my life could I show up more fully—without needing to be perfect first?
Until next week,
Chris

Your biggest takeaway from this edition
I do read and reply to every single one of them… when I’m not traveling!
1. Practicing Speaking in German , and exercising daily. I always wait for "the right time" to practice Speaking in German (I've had this problem with my English speaking as well), which never comes. About exercising every day, although i know how good and beneficial doing so is, i still haven't figured out why i think not doing so serves me very well.
2. Today i made a small progress. Instead of napping in the afternoon, i drew sth on a drawing paper, and sharpened its lines with a black pen.
3. When i wanna practice Speaking, Reading and Writing in German. My biggest problem in practicing these skills is that i wanna be perfect even in my first attempts.
