“A journey of a thousand miles starts with that first step. if you look ahead to the end, and all the weary miles between, with all the dangers you might face, you might never take that first step. And whatever it is you want to achieve in your life, if you don’t make the effort. You won’t reach your goal. So take the first step.”- Sir Richard Branson

When it comes to success, the first step is very important. If you have the courage to take the first step, success is yours. The first step is always scary to take. But if you can take it, you can win. Don’t let it stop you from going after your dreams. People don’t take the first step because they don’t want to fail. They don’t want to fall. They don’t want to fail. They don’t want to look stupid. They don’t want to look weak. People don’t take the first step because they don’t want other people to blame them.

It doesn’t matter what you want to achieve in your life. To achieve it, you must take the first step. The baby step. The scary step. The weak step. You must take it to grow yourself. It is scary, but you can do it. You can change yourself. You can transform yourself, your life. So just take the first step. And you will succeed.

If You Don’t Make Things Happen Then Things Will Happen To You

Robert Collier said, “If you don’t make things happen then things will happen to you.” You have what it takes to make things happen for you, not to you. It is important to make things happen, to make your dreams come true, to check where you are. To do that, you need to be honest with yourself. You need to tell yourself what you need to hear. If not, you will never grow.

“If you believe you can make things happen for you, you can.”

When it comes to your growth, you have what it takes to create the life you want for yourself. You can create your life. All you need to do is to tell yourself the truth. Don’t lie about where you are right now. Jim Stovall says, “The most destructive lies we ever tell are those we tell ourselves.” We lie to ourselves to cover our troubles. If you want to get to the next level, you must stop telling yourself lies. If you don’t stop, you will remain where you are.

To leave where you are, you must make things happen for you, not to you. You have what it takes to do it. You have what it takes to change your life. You are stronger, smarter, better than you think you are. All you need to make things happen for you is to determine where you want to go, what you want, and how to make things happen. And don’t forget to assess where you are right now. It is important. Because if you want to know yourself, you must have the courage to question yourself.

The right questions will give you the right answers. To face yourself, you must first believe that you can win. You must believe that you have what it takes to take the first step. It is the first step that separates the doers from the talkers. It is the first step that separates successful people from unsuccessful people. It is the first step that separates winners from losers. So if you want to make things happen for you, you must learn the act of taking the first step. It matters. Are you ready to take the first step?
