One step at a time

"What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step."

-- Antoine De Saint-Exupery

Does the prospect of changing and growing seem monumental to you? Just too much to tackle?

Then consider this approach. Take a simple step of affirming your openness to experience more or something new. Or a different first step might be to let go of judgment by embracing the neutral. Begin to see the people, activities and things around you as neither good nor bad.

A journey is made of many small steps. Don’t focus on a far-off destination if you’re not clear how to get there. Build a foundation that is solid for you. We get to new places one step at a time.

"You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step."

-- Martin Luther King, Jr.

"One may walk over the highest mountain one step at a time."

-- John Wanamaker


I know that the journey of a thousand miles begins with just one step. When I am scared or don't like the outcome I tend to look and the destination and feel so overwhelmed that I just won't ever get there. When I can stay in the moment and just look at that one step I am ok. I'm even better when I ask God for help in that moment with that step. For today I will invite God in to help me with each step I need to take. I will have faith and hope that His plan is what is best for me.
