The First Step is the Hardest
The First Step is the Hardest.
But it's the only step that matters.
Why? Because without it, you're stuck.
Stagnant. Dreaming, not doing.
The Stoics understood this.
They didn't just philosophize; they acted.
The world is a chaotic whirlwind, and most get swept away.
You don't have to be most people.
Every journey, every change, starts with that first step.
It's not about the distance covered; it's about the decision to move.
You might think, "I'm not ready." But here's the truth:
You'll never feel fully ready.
The Stoics say, "Begin where you are."
You have one life. Your time is now.
Take that step towards your dreams, your goals.
Remember, it's okay to be scared.
Fear is the sign you're doing something worthwhile.
Don't wait for the perfect moment.
It doesn't exist.
Your first step?
That's your perfect moment.
Take it. Now.
