Summary

This quote highlights the notion that the length or difficulty of a task does not determine its daunting nature; rather, it is the hesitation or reluctance to begin that gives it its overwhelming quality. It suggests that procrastination and fear of starting are the true obstacles to completing a task, implying that if one musters the courage to take the initial step, the perceived enormity of the work diminishes. In simple terms, the longer a project is delayed, the more intimidating it appears, emphasizing the importance of initiating and facing challenges head-on.
