Lovely morning.Many of us put off starting something we wish to do because we give reasons why we can’t do it. “I need to lose a bit more weight first”, “I need to learn a few more words first”, “I’m too busy at work to study”, or any of a myriad of other reasons that prevent them from taking the first step.
If you blame the environment around you for your not doing it, you will never be able to do what you want to do. The environment will change if you take the first step, not afterwards. Of course, you don’t want to cause too much inconvenience to your family or other people around you, or interfere with your work, but you will find that your family will support you in doing what you want to do, and you will find that you can study during your commute to work. Once you’ve taken the first step, there’s always something you can learn and do.
Just going to the hairdresser and changing your hair a little can make a big difference to how you feel. It takes courage to change from your current hairstyle to a new one, but changing your hairstyle can reveal a new facet of yourself that you never knew existed.
If it takes a lot of courage to make a big change, it’s good to keep changing every day, little by little, towards your dream. After a year, you may find that you have evolved more than you have changed. And as you change, you may find that the people and environment around you have also changed for the better. It’s time to let go of our own minds and our own words, and to continue working towards our dreams, step by step. This will give us confidence in ourselves and in what we have achieved, and we will be able to keep moving forward.
