It’s easy to dream, but finding the motivation to get started is often the hardest part of the journey toward our goals. The secret? Take it one step at a time. It’s a sentiment that’s perfectly summed up in this well-known proverb from the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu, who's considered the father of Taoism. It’s a simple metaphor but a powerful motivator. It’s easy to get overwhelmed or discouraged when everything is ahead of us, but even our loftiest ambitions are achievable once we conjure the courage to take the first step.
