Paths are made by walking

There's this phrase that never skips my mind. It keeps thinking positively even when things aren't going well. It says 'paths are made by walking'.

I'm sure that sounds very vague but looking at it critically, it points to the fact that we can't make progress if we don't take steps. It's like having the best idea in the world and never actually working towards making it a reality.

Everyone has dreams and aspirations, visions of greatness, those pestering thoughts that we have the seed of greatness in us. And in truth we all do. But what's sets the great from the mediocre is choice. The choice to take a step, to start, to take a bold step even in the midst of fear.

We all want to be great, we all can be great, only if we all did what was necessary. St Francis asserts that the key to doing the impossible starts by doing what's necessary, then doing what's possible and suddenly you find yourself doing the impossible.

What you can do now is take a step towards bring that your dream, goal and vision to reality and see what path it leads you to. Trust me, your feet may hurt walking the steps, but once you're on the right path, it'll be all worth it at the end.
