When you face any significant challenge in your life, you don’t have to figure out the entire solution or process at one time. Just figure out the first step toward overcoming the obstacle and find the courage to start the process. Each following step will fall into place once you make that first effort.
This is brilliant, and oh, so true, an example of what it means to be your own best friend and a good strategy to incorporate into your day-to-day life. With each step forward you learn something essential in taking the next step and the next, and before you know it, you’ve reached your destination or the resolution of your “problem” that may at first have seemed insurmountable, but turned out to be one of the best experiences of your life. This has happened to me more times than I can count in the last 70 years or so. Thus, I can say without hesitation that this wise advice is true.
