Take that step

Man stepping over a white line. Walking across the start line representing business and life start up concept. Top view.

“As you start to walk on the way, the way appears. Clarity doesn’t come before action. It comes from action.” – Rumi

What have you got in front of you that seems unclear, murky, and uncertain?

What action can you take to move, even if only a short way, and even if only in the general direction?

Notice when you take that step, the view changes. Some things are more in focus; some things are now irrelevant.

Notice you now have new options for another step, and another.

Solutions and understanding will emerge as you progress.

Better to take the first step and move, than take no step and get nothing.

My best wishes, Paul

Paul Matthews
