Step Forward

Make That Start

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 3 months ago 1 min read
Take that first step forwards

“You don’t have to be great to start.

But you have to start to be great.”

It can be frightening

to start on a new ‘adventure’ in our lives,

and we may not even know where to start.

But

we’re “thinking” about it which is always ‘the start’.

Then we need to actually move and do

what we have been thinking about.

Growth can only come

from steady progress.

Every successful person

had to start somewhere

and “learn” their skills.

You and I are no different!

Embrace the process of learning and acquiring new skills

to make you the person you really want to be.

Every step forward

is helping you

to build the kind of foundation

that you need for a strong life,

now and in the future.

And remember to celebrate

each and every win,

large or small.

Each win

is a step

in the right direction.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
