"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." - Lao Tzu
I feel like I should write more about this since it's a very important concept to take the first step. One question comes to mind. What is the first step? It's the first action taken toward your goal. In the case my blog for example the first step was to register my blog on Blogger. Just thinking about doing a blog and what I'm going to talk about is not a step. It's just like debating which road to take to your destination, you can reflect on it for weeks but are not going anywhere as long as you don't take that first step.
I watch a video conference of Cameron Johnson a while back. Cameron is 26 today. He made 50000$ selling Beanie Babies at the age of 12. He was making 15000$ a day at the age of 15 and made his first million before graduating high school. One of the thing he highlighted as being one of his top factor in achieving all this was to put himself out there. That's the first thing to do in anything you wish to accomplish.
If I don't tell anyone I'm writing a blog, who going to read it? If you stay home how are you going to meet a potential girlfriend? How are you going to sell paintings if they sit in your basement? Get yourself out there, talk about your ambitions, attend conventions or anything related to your goals.
Take that first step and the momentum may carry you further and faster than you may have thought!
