JUST ONE STEP

“I can’t see a way through,” said the boy.

“Can you see your next step?” “Yes.”

“Just take that,” said the horse.

 It is easy to become overwhelmed and frustrated by happenings and non-happenings in your life and lose track of the path. It’s easy to fall into a routine and lose heart when faced with challenges, obstacles and the unknown. In such moments, all that one can really do -knowing that the future will unfold no matter what- is to take the next step. “Just take the next step that you can see.

 Remember …

“You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” –Martin Luther King Jr. I Have a Dream speech (1963)

“Every journey begins with a single step.” –Lao Tzu
