Yes, it’s that time of year where many of us – even if secretly – are placing our walking sticks on the ground – setting out to accomplish our goals and intentions.
As Lao-tzu once told us, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” or proposed as a more accurate translation: “The journey of a thousand miles begins beneath one’s feet.”
The question is how do you stay on the path?
Do you consider heading back, abandoning all hopes of your journey at the first sign of bad weather … or because you fell down?
If you ‘fail’, do you dare try again? History is replete with people from all walks of life who answered this question with a resounding “YES!”
You do go back and start again, and again and again ~ if it is your true desire to do so.
Fear is the monster in the cave waiting to pounce. You may not be able to describe it, yet you’re familiar with its feeding habits … this time, this year, be ready and determined!
Join me over the next few weeks as I share a symbolic hero’s journey. There are steps you can take to guide you up and down the hills, across life’s plateaus, and on to your summit and its peak.
Believe in possibility!
