Photo Love {Inspiration}: Taking the first step

November 15, 2010
A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
Lao Tzu
 All pictures from here
Beginnings can be a bit intimidating.  I look at the gorgeous pictures of these dancers from the opening ceremony of the Asian Games and think they must have been a little nervous the first time they performed in front of thousands of people.  Perhaps their first experiences even dancing were tough.  Dancers and performers aren’t the only ones that have to make new decisions – we constantly make choices that force us to question whether we want to make a new beginning.  Should we pursue a new job, move to a different city, get that degree, or even start a blog (whew and it was yes to all of that for me!)?
But it all begins with that first step.  It may or may not be exactly what you seek, but at least you tried.  You can always choose another path and that initial step could be the beginning of something glorious.
Don’t be afraid of the first step and all that you can accomplish.
Have a lovely week!

    So true! Often when I think of all I have and want to do I get totally overwhelmed but when you realise everything starts with the first step I think that makes things easier.
