Take the First Step

Take the small step that is right in front of you now. Don't worry about making a giant step or a big change. If you serve with awareness, devotion, and surrender, God will meet you more than halfway and reveal what is next.
~Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian

Often when we are making a decision or a change in our lives it can feel overwhelming. We worry that we might make the wrong decision or move in the wrong direction. The outcome may not end up being what we thought it would be or what we think that it should be. We may hesitate and because of fear of the unknown we may become stuck in our old, uncomfortable ways which we know are not working for us, but we don't know how to move forward. When I was young and learning how to downhill ski I could get paralyzed at the top of the hill, because the bottom seemed so far away and impossible to get to. But I made a decision to not look at the bottom and just take the first step. I would look just beyond the end of my skis and I made it down, and it was fun! If we decide to just take one step at a time and trust that we will be divinely guided, we will get to where we are supposed to be. Even if we make a misstep, we will easily guided to correct our course. All it takes is surrender, devotion and trust and the whole world will open up to us.
