The First Step in Any Race

The first thing you do in any race is taking that first step.  Whether you're lacing up for your first run, or waiting for the starting pistol at a marathon, the beginning looks the same- one step. 


And yet...It's so easy to get caught up in inertia.  Sitting at the computer, reading about others' successes instead of pursuing your own.  Hearing about somebody's accomplishments on the news, while your bucket list hasn't even made it onto paper.  Clicking likes and updating statuses, but not really doing anything.  My intention is to break up the inertia in my life.  It only takes one step- one force that isn't counterbalanced- to undo inertia. 


Today, I'm taking one step.  I can't accomplish a dream in one day, but I can do at least one thing toward it.  And I can do one thing tomorrow, and the next day.  Soon, my singular steps will have gotten me a mile closer to my dream.  This blog is my first step...the dream is beginning.
