Once You Begin, the Rest is Easy

A friend shared this quote with me at a recent meeting. It makes so much sense. If you don’t start, you can’t finish. If you don’t attempt, you can’t succeed. A philosopher once said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.” The same thing holds true for a journey of a single mile. After you take that first step, you begin to build momentum with each succeeding step. This momentum then carries you along just like the wind currents carry a soaring eagle and pretty soon, the destination is in sight. People who are afraid to take that first step never experience this kind of excitement and they often remain in the same place their whole life. So, if you’re harboring a dream, now is the perfect time to act on it. Get out there and take that first step. Once you do, you’ll discover for yourself that the rest is easy.
