The First Step is the Hardest

Have you ever helped a child learn to walk? You as the adult know how easy it is. It's so easy that by now you do it without thinking, as you breathe. You can't even remember when you fumbled and fell. To this child, however, walking is leaping into the unknown.

 

What is your leap today? Is is writing your book? Is it freeing your creative voice? Is it unlocking the secrets of your soul through your journal writing? Is it becoming visible as an expert? Marketing your book? Finding a publisher? Making money? More money? Releasing self-sabotage so that you can create the life of your dreams? Recovering health? Finding love? Reclaiming time to have a quality life?

 

Whatever your challenge is, it seems insurmountable right now. It pushes you out of your Comfort Zone. It challenges you to learn new skills or release old behavior. It is a mystery. You can't control or predict its course. It makes you feel insecure.

 

Photo by scott.m.liddell, courtesy of MorgueFile.comJust remember that child learning to walk. Remember that to the one on the other side, with her arms extended, this is as easy as breathing. Know that even though you feel like the child, you are also that woman waiting on the other side. Your Wise One has already mastered this because she is connected to All That Is. Listen to her wisdom. Connect to that part of yourself, and through her, through the universe of knowledge available to you. Let go. That first step is the hardest one.

 

You may fall. You may make a mistake. That's how you learn to walk. Remember that child. She falls and quickly gets up. She tests her strength and quickly builds it up. She observes and rehearses, practices and recovers, until she is an expert in walking. Now she can run.

Keep the image of this child in your heart as you face your new endeavor. Carry a similar picture. Or place a baby shoe icon in your keychain.

 

When you see someone dance, you see their flight. For the dancer, however, the path to that flight is "fall and recovery."

 

Light and Love,
