Baby Steps

... One small step from one man but giant leap for the entire mankind. - Neil Armstrong

These were culled from the actual words of Neil Armstrong when he became the first man in history to step on the moon. From that small step that was taken many years ago, other giant leaps have been witnessed in the astro field. The only thing standing in the way of your major breakthrough is your first step. If you can brave the first step, then other steps will be cheaply doable.

It is worthy to note that the first step has been seen by many as the most difficult step but it is the most crucial step towards breakthrough. Of course, a journey involving many kilometres will begin with the person taking that first step. The first step may not be big, it may be "baby step" but it is the start of a bigger pace.

If you have ever seen where toddlers are learning how to take their first step, you will see the difficulty associated with that, but they will still keep at it. Even when they fall over, they will get up to start all over again. In the same way, failing at the first attempt should not be a discouragement to you but it should motivate you - at least you have made an attempt and you will be better at the next trial.

A child that refuses to take the "baby step" will not take an "adult run". In the same way, if you wait till you have the full support before you take your first step, you may wait forever in futility. You do not have to have a 100% overview of the staircase before you start climbing. Take the first step and the other plans and steps will be made available in due course.

It is very okay to have a massive dream. At least, it will help to spur you into actions but you still need to start from where your available resources can accommodate. It is not a bad thing to have a small starting. It becomes bad if you remain in that start-up stage and refuse to grow. Many big names we see even in the world of technology started from the corner of their houses.

I read about a major social media giant that started from his dormitory, and now his company has become a household name. As long as you are willing to take the first step, what you have feared most that has caused you to be stagnated at a spot will leave your alone.

The greatest enemy of the first step is fear. Do not allow the fear of failure to stop you from initiating the first step. Take the step, even if you didn't succeed at that instance, try again and again and success will definitely beckon.
