# Overcoming inertia is hard
Starting is the first step. It's also often the hardest. We can contemplate work to be done and feel overwhelmed. Feel scared. Over-analyze and think we will never be able to succeed. But by doing so, we prevent ourselves from taking the most crucial step: taking action.
But the good news is that while overcoming intertia is truly hard. The next steps get easier and easier, as you gain momentum.
There are two types of inertia: inertia in motion and stationary. It's hard to get the ball rolling, but once it's rolling, it can become hard to stop!
So go ahead. Create momentum for yourself!
