There are certain things that you need to carry with you from the beginning because the further away you get from the beginning the easier it is to forget. Regardless of whether we are talking about the beginning of a new project, business venture, graduate school, or relationship, we must bring the beginning along the journey with us. In the beginning it all made sense. In the beginning we were full of energy and enthusiasm. In the beginning no price was too high to pay. In the beginning no obstacle would be able to discourage or destroy us. In the beginning we believed. In the beginning we were certain. In the beginning we felt the urgency. In the beginning hope was our oxygen and desire was our fuel. In the beginning we could not and would not be stopped. And that is why you must take the beginning with you to the end!
