The Second Step

The second step is the one that usually being overlooked. Most people are too engrossed and focused on the first step that once they have taken in they would just dash on ahead without even internalizing the importance of each step, especially the second.

Yes, you indeed did very well on mustering your guts and took the hardest first step, but the trial for that bravery you just performed will only start at the second.

I personally call the second step: the step of hesitation. It is where your bravery from taking that first step will be questioned. If that bravery of yours is only half-hearted then I'll assure you that you will crumble down to your foothold. If the only reason you have for going through the CHANGE is because of your friends' cheers and your family's encouragement, not with your very own determination and will, your thoughts will linger back to your comforts.

The second step is your new foothold crossing between the first and the third. You just have to answer one question that will answer all others: Is your heart ready?

If your answer is 'Yes' then by all means cross. That 'Yes' of yours entails your determination and will to keep that fire going until you reach the peak. It is your own promise to yourself to keep that eagerness alive--to put your soul to the every step you'll soon be taking.

The First Step

The First Step makes all the difference. It is the most difficult yet the most crucial in every endeavor or in life itself. Taking it means leaving behind all the comfort of your current foothold to hike a new height.

Whoever we are, wherever we find ourselves, whatever situation we are in, we should never cease to take that first step.

The only thing that will stop you from taking that first step is the fear of CHANGE.

Changing means going beyond your comfort zone, like shedding off that dry old pelt exposing your vulnerable and delicate skin then going through the process of hardening it to a tough hide.

Fearing change will mean fearing growth. Growth from who you are now to a better you. This does not only apply to you as a person but also in your career or business. This actually applies to all aspect in life.

Thus taking the first step is accepting change for a better you and a better future.
