TAKING OUR FIRST STEPS
People often don’t work on their dreams. For many, it’s because they don’t ever start. Why is that? Could it be because we’re scared of failing? Or maybe we are scared of what success may bring?
Differing from those often thought examples, I offer another example that we often deal with. Above all, it’s more like we just haven’t sat down to think things through.
Without thinking about what we want to do and what our first steps are, our dreams feel like an endless ocean that’s difficult to cross. The mere thought of crossing that ocean feels hazy and unlikely. Hence why we put it off for another day.
However, it’s in this action that we continually delay our progress by not even starting. Months or years can go by as a result.
We are also limited in our thinking by common misconceptions. Our goals and dreams suffer from these misconceptions. Without a doubt, this includes thoughts like “it’s too late”, or “it’s not a good idea”, or “it’s already been done”. These thoughts further delay us from starting on our dreams.
If you fall into one of these misconceptions, don’t worry. Many of us have thoughts like this at some point in our lives. Nevertheless, they truly are misconceptions and they are wrong.
Take a look at this article about finding our passion to see why these misconceptions are holding us back, limiting our minds and also our potential for happiness.
SEIZE YOUR OPPORTUNITY
It took me ten years to find my starting point. Ten years to finally make the time just to sit down and really figure it all out.
That being said, starting is easier than you think. We often don’t associate sitting down and figuring things out as starting. Starting to us usually means some form of action that is likely associated with the actual goal.
For instance, working out in order to lose weight. We think to ourselves that starting on this goal means completing our very first workout.
In actuality, the act of sitting and figuring out how is the start that we need. First, we need to know where to work out. At this time, we would consider how much a membership costs at a gym. Additionally, we need to know how to work out. It’s these types of questions that we don’t answer which leave us feeling lost on how to achieve our goals.
By tackling the questions we haven’t answered yet, the vast ocean starts to look smaller and smaller. We get a sense of direction.
“If you don’t know where to start your journey toward your dreams, start with the questions you haven’t answered yet. Answering those questions are your first steps and doing so will give you the ability to act“

Clear your mind. See your thoughts. Take the time to figure out what you need and fill in the blanks as your first steps toward your goals. You will then see the path ahead of you.
A NEW DAWN AND A NEW DAY
You don’t have to wait. This is your chance, your moment and time to start your path to a better future. Now, take the time now to figure out what you need to know.
Whatever held you back before, put it aside. For the next 10 minutes go ahead and figure out what you need for your dreams. Doing so will be taking your first step!
Is it money? Is it to learn something? Well, then figure how much money you need and how to get it. If you have to learn something, then figure out where to learn, how much it costs, and how long it will take.
Right then and there you would have taken your first step. Now giving you the ability to act on it.
CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER
Don’t let the years continue to pass you by. When we don’t follow through with our dreams we often leave room in our lives for negative emotions and thoughts. Therefore, I encourage you to pursue your goals and dreams and fill your lives with accomplishment and happiness.
Without a doubt, acting on our dreams and not acting on our dreams both take energy. So, wouldn’t you rather put it toward your success? Live the life you deserve!
This is your moment in time. Indeed, that’s all we ever need. A moment in time to say yes to our dreams.
At any moment you can be a new you. You don’t need to wait for any special occasion or opportunity, all you need is right now. Make the time for yourself. Make the time for your dreams.
