6.0 Start with a Step
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step – Lao Tzu
Your destination may be so far that it will require a flight to get you there, yet you must start with a step. When you measure the distance covered by steps taken consistently along a particular direction over time, you will be surprised at progress made. Don't insist you must start with a flight without first lifting a finger.
Aside the purposeful steps you need to take as highlighted above, you first need to step out! Stepping out is very important in your journey. To step out is to move out of your shadows into your real world. This will require you break out of your shell of self indulgence. It will also require you break out of your shell of self limitations into the limelight of influence and impact.
To some, this will mean walking out of a rotten past into a red carpet. To others, it will mean sieving out the wheat from the chaff of routines, while to others it will mean stripping yourself bare of pride, superfluity of naughtiness and self deceit
You also need to step up! You cannot operate at the same level forever and call it progress. You have to take it a notch higher. If you have been sitting down, you have to upgrade and start walking. If you have been walking, you should begin to run and if you have been running before, now you have to flying. Anything short of an upgrade is remote retrogression. One quality of living things is growth and that growth is measurable. If the slope of your journey cannot be determined in positive numerals, then you have not stepped up at all.
Lastly, be it stepping out or stepping up, you have got to overcome some forces. One is inertia and the other is friction. This implies that something must leave you before you can leave where you are. You need a greater force to dwarf the resistance. To activate this force, it may require a change of friends, change of attitude or change of direction.
Overcome subterranean forces of inertia and friction today and step out gloriously as the star to watch!
