'take the first step
The longest journey, or project, starts with a first step.
When it's too hard to picture the whole journey.
break it down into smaller ones.
Keep reducing until the first step seems attainable.
Then take it.
The others will follow.'
'To begin, begin.'
Peter Nivio Zarlenga (1941 - )
To execute any move, we must - move. We need action. Whether we are talking about a trip (literally) or our dreams, to get to the destination or to live the dream we must take action. Beginning is sometimes the hardest thing. Where to start? How to start? These can be very overwhelming questions for some. However, the best plan is to plan - break it down into manageable bits, like Patrick Lindsay suggests, then just do it, as Nike states.
It is amazing that once the hurdle is crossed, the rest usually just falls into place (most of the time).
Some might read this and wonder, 'What are you talking about?' Taking a trip or beginning something is easy. And this can be true too, for some.
But, I'm talking to those who might be struggling with the life changing journey's. Change for a lot of us is a huge hurdle and needs much more consideration, and a big dose of courage. But, if you sit down and write out the pros and cons, then this is the beginning...and further steps will follow.
So, good luck and enjoy your journey...
