The Hardest Part: Deciding to Start

Are you tired of feeling stuck in your life? Do you dream of a better future for yourself or your family, but struggle to take the first step towards making it a reality? Have you beeen thinking about getting started in cybersecurity for awhile, but haven't started yet? If so, you are not alone. Many of the students that we speak to have been thinking about starting towards a career cybersecurity for months, if not years. Some have waited as long as a decade!

But here's the thing: the longer you wait to take action, the harder it becomes to break out of your current situation. The "perfect time" simply doesn't exist. That's why it's so important to start making positive changes in your life today.

Newton’s First Law of Motion essentially states that an object at rest is likely to stay at rest, while an object in motion is likely to stay in motion. This means that taking the first step towards your goal is often the hardest part, but once you're moving, it becomes much easier to keep going.

This is because action creates momentum. As you take small steps towards your goal, you will start to build up a sense of momentum and progress. Getting started also helps to build up your confidence and self-esteem. When you take action towards your goals, even if it's just a small step, you are demonstrating to yourself that you are capable and committed. This can help you feel more confident and self-assured, which in turn can help you take even bigger and more challenging steps towards your goal.

Investing in yourself and your future career is one of the most powerful things you can do to change your circumstances. This can involve anything from learning a new language or taking a course to learn cybersecurity, to simply taking the time to exercise and take care of your physical and mental health.

It can be intimidating to try something new or to put yourself out there. But remember that the more you practice, the easier it becomes. And the rewards of investing in yourself are well worth the effort. Not only will you feel more confident and capable, but you will also be positioning yourself for a brighter future.

So if you're ready to take control of your circumstances and create a better future for yourself, now is the time to act. The rewards will be well worth it.
