This week’s theme for a better you and a better world is: begin.

Begin.

They say a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Actually, it begins with coffee but that’s another story.  Goals and dreams are big things, intimidating things.  We see the whole giant flaming ball of everything and decide a nap is a better plan.  Suddenly you become aware of all the obstacles like learning curves, things you don’t want to have to do and getting lost along the way.  However, every whole is just a mass of component parts.  Parts are assembled in small steps.  Small steps lead to big accomplishments.

Big accomplishments are dreams in action.

Where do you begin?  At the beginning.  Whether it’s just the idea or the first action steps.  Start at the top in little manageable bites.

Start with one small step.

Do the work.  Reap the reward.

Shall we begin?
