How easy is it to start something?
Sometimes relatively easy, other times; it is a herculean task.
I have been thinking about starting this blog for a while now and here’s how the conversation usually goes in my head.

Introducing…
The Four Five Personalities
Choleric Mercy
Melancholic Mercy
Phlegmatic Mercy
Sanguine Mercy
Equilibrium Mercy

Choleric Mercy: Are you sure you can do this?
Phlegmatic Mercy: You do have so much you are doing? Don’t you ever get tired?
Equilibrium Mercy: Yes, I can and I am doing it!!
Melancholic Mercy: Okay then, well, what are you going to talk about? There is a wide variety of topics, do you think you would be able to carve a niche for your self? You are not exactly a social being…
Equilibrium Mercy: Hmmm, Let me think about this
(Cuts in)
Sanguine Mercy: Well, you can be funny when you want to be
Equilibrium Mercy: Exactly
Melancholic Mercy: Which is roughly 10 per cent of the time
Equilibrium Mercy: But I really want to do this
Melancholic Mercy: Do the preliminary research, see what having a blog entails, let’s know what you are getting into
Equilibrium Mercy: Okay, I can do that
Phlegmatic Mercy: Haaaaa, this is stressful
Melancholic Mercy: Just do it
Choleric Mercy: I honestly believe you can do this though, you have tried so many things in the past and succeeded this would not be any different. All you have to do is, Organise your schedule, allocate time for this and you’d be fine
Melancholic Mercy: What if I am not as consistent as I should or this does not go as well as I want it to
Choleric Mercy: What if it does?
Melancholic Mercy: What do you want to call the blog?
Equilibrium Mercy: Hmmm
Choleric Mercy: That does not matter now, write the script first, get ready to post and the name will come to you
Equilibrium Mercy: I do not know why you’d want to leave all that to chance, but okay
Choleric Mercy: I think you are overthinking this, you overthink everything
Melancholic Mercy: Well, that’s because I take things seriously
Equilibrium Mercy: Everyone calm down. I get your points, most of them are valid; however, I think it is important to move out of the comfort zone every once in a while. Regardless of what happens, let us go ahead and do this. Okay?
Choleric Mercy: Okay
Melancholic Mercy: Okay
Sanguine and Phlegmatic Mercy: It’s not like we were a part of this argument before; but Okay!
Equilibrium Mercy: Okay Okay, We can do this, We can do this, We can do this…

(Present time)

I am actually doing this. (Big Smile)
I have almost typed a page of content. Granted, it is mind banter.
I could possibly launch today.
No, I will launch today.

The lesson is, do not hold back. Do not make up reasons to prevent yourself from doing or starting what you want. Just Start and See what happens.

I Just Started!!!
