I can’t finish without starting. 

I can’t learn without trying. 

I can’t get an answer to a question I don’t ask.

I can’t reach a limit I don’t attempt to exceed.

I can’t be part of a group I don’t join.

I can’t start a new chapter if I don’t end the last.

I can’t understand something without exploring its edges.

I can’t be helpful if I don’t help out.
I can’t get help if I don’t accept it.

I can’t be right if I’m never willing to be wrong.

I can’t be a friend if I don’t stop focusing on myself.
I can’t be a great parent if I’m not willing to be a bad one and learn from time to time.

I can’t write a book without the first word.

I can’t take the second step in life without taking the first.
