Inertia

The first obstacle to be overcome in any undertaking is the inertia of the people who are to perform the task. (Source unknown)

Whether it’s the production of the newest widget in the market, the painting of a masterpiece in art, or the winning of an Olympic gold medal, the first step is getting up and moving toward achieving the goal. Inertia is the first reason for the lack of accomplishment. The idea may be good, the strategy perfect, the goal in clear view, but you have to get up and get going.

Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. (Romans 12:11)
