Beginnings
Lao Tzu was right: the journey of a thousand miles does begin with the first step. But why is that first step often so difficult to take? Perhaps it is because we are intimidated by the size of the task before us, the length of the journey ahead? But remember the old question of how to eat an elephant. Answer: one bite at a time. Sometimes we hesitate to begin afresh is because we have tried and failed before. Cynicism is the root of all inertia. But one way to cure cynicism is to change the way we think about beginnings. Every big ending is the result of countless small beginnings. We should not expect to achieve our goals the first time we try.
— Wayne Visser
