Start where you are…

Legendary tennis player Arthur Ashe famously said:

• Start where you are;
• Use what you have;
• Do what you can.

Any areas of life you think this doesn’t work? I’d say it works for lots of stuff, like:

• Making dinner
• Trying a new sport
• Playing with kids
• Starting a business

Probably not so much for:

• Driving a car (if you’ve never driven before)
• Flying a plane (if you’ve never flown before)
• …and other dangerous things you shouldn’t just “start” without at least some training.

Obviously this applies to starting a climate journey – never seek perfection; don’t bother waiting for just the right time; and avoid worrying about how much work there is ahead.

This is one we never reach the finish line on – we just do what we can.
