At times you feel stagnant. That you have not gotten any closer to a goal than you were weeks, months, years ago.
Sometimes it feels overwhelming – there’s so much to do after so much nothing. And how will I ever get there from here?
The truth is, the answer is the same as it always was. The answer is to take one step.
Do not get mired in the inevitable questions: Step where? How big? Which direction? What if I don’t know which kind of step is the best step? What if I take the wrong step? These thoughts become glue, sticking you right where you are.
There is no predetermined right way for you to get from here to there. There is no other you. No other person with your experiences, your insight, your body, your vision, your heart. You are the cartographer, making the map as you go. But the going is the key.
And to get going, you must take a step.

Although this hit my inbox yesterday, I didn’t get to read it until this morning. The Universe arranged the timing perfectly.
Been contemplating the next step, whether or not it was “right,” whether it was towards or away from; whether it was for me, if I were capable, if the timing was now.
Your words were an impetus. Thank you.
