We love giving rewards for finishing — but what about rewards for starting?

Most people wait until the very end to celebrate. But the hardest part of any project is usually the first step. That moment when you finally open the document, pull out the supplies, or hit “go”—that’s where the real courage lives.

Gold stars are for starting.

So stop saving your treats for the finish line. Pat yourself on the back, give yourself a small reward, or even just acknowledge:

“I did the hardest part - I began.”

Finishing matters, but starting deserves celebration too.

How could you give yourself a gold star for starting today?
