Just take the first step …

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 …
