It is more than the first step

Confucius said” It takes the first step to walk a thousand miles” and that is correct. You know Confucius was a very brilliant man. What he must have said after that is you have to keep taking more steps to make it a thousand miles.

Let just say that at the end of the thousand miles was your dream or a pot of gold. To get there you have to keep walking and that is the way it is in life.

First you have to have a goal that is worthy of taking all the steps to reach a thousand miles. That is for you to decide. You now have this overriding goal so what does it take to get there?

You need to have a plan to get there and then you have to take action to make it happen. Just thinking about your goal is not going to get you there. There is where the constant moving forward comes in.

If every day you move closer to you goal you are making progress. Will I am talking about progress toward you goal, but it is not the only objective. The experience of the journey of reaching you goal is just as important.

One of my goals is to continue to improve my happiness with Micki. This is not hard when you have a partner that makes life a wonderful experience. But I do consider it a worthy goal.

I whole point here is to constantly move toward you goal. This is not a sprint but a marathon. Like the tortes and the rabbit. The tortes just kept slowly moving to the finish line and because it didn’t lose focus on it goal it got there.
This is how we have to be.

We can’t lose focus and have to constantly work toward our goal. This doesn’t sound too hard and it really isn’t.

To make it toward your goal it takes another step every day. You might not get to the original goal because on the journey you found a worthier goal and that’s OK.
The most important thing is that you have to keep advancing toward your goal.

Having a plan is critical, so spend some time to develop a plan that will get you to your goal.

Remember it is not just the first step, but all the following steps that you take that gets you the thousand miles.

Happiness with Wealth to you
