2019 Starter Pack: Start like the Rising Sun

There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope – Bernard Williams
 
Start like the rising sun but don't go to bed with it. The rising sun comes with illumination. The radiance is so strong that it dispels the thick dark clouds of the night. It terminates a bleak era and heralds rainbow of hope. Your new start should naturally engineer this. It should awaken a season of hope and action. It should make those who have abandoned their projects to return to site. Like the birds that sing at dawn to herald sunrise, those who have cried all night in dispair of a bad yesterday, should rise with your uprising, singing songs of hope and assurance.

2019 Starter Pack: Start with Guts

Gold medals aren't really made of gold. They're made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts – Dan Gable
 
It takes more than a wishful thinking to start something new. It takes real guts to move from a place of convenience through inconvenience to a place of more convenience. It takes great courage to detour from an established path, and get through the bushes and the harrowing experience of navigating through in order to blaze a trail.

2019 Starter Pack: Start with a Schedule

The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities – Stephen Covey
 
A schedule is a plan for carrying out a process or procedure, giving lists of intended events and times. In other words, it is a statement of activity against time from start of a process to its finish. It is important to break your activities into units of timelines and be diligent to stick with them. While a plan seeks to ask 'what', a schedule is about 'when'.
 

2019 Starter Pack: Start with a Seed

7.0 Start with a Seed
 
Don't judge each day by the harvest you make but by the seeds you plant
-Robert Louis Stephenson
 
Whatever new start you are  primed for this season is with the intention to reap bountifully at the end of the day. That is the more reason why you must start with a sowing so that you can end with reaping. To plant today is to have hope of reaping tomorrow.
