I know that for myself, when I look at the big picture of something that needs to be done, the vision ahead can look so completely daunting, overwhelming and rather impossible – that I become very stuck. I wonder if this happens to you too? I suspect that at times it does and yet, as what so often happens in life, you look back and can see how the dots have in fact connected … and how you actually were well able to accomplish something that looked initially just seemed a too big a task.
So below are some of the things that I need to remind myself of:
- I actually do not know how things will work out – but just taking the first step will lead to the next and then the next … and who knows!
- To pray.
- There is always the possibility for unexpected and unanticipated outcomes that are fantastic.
- I know that I am well able to figure things out along the way.
- I have been in hard places before … and I have come through them.
- I have the backing of great friends and family. I do have a support system and I can reach out for help and advice.
- I have the option of doing nothing – but with this comes the consequences of stagnation and remaining in the same quagmire. Action leads to innovation, ideas, fresh perspectives ….
It is a matter of taking courageous actions, no matter how ridiculously small the first step is … just start …
Just take the first step …
