One Golden Step At A Time

The first step is always the hardest so take one step or day at a time. What shoes will you wear today? Are you ending a long drawn out painful cycle in your life? As one door closes, another will open up to your future of possibilities creating opportunities. If we stay in the past for too long, we will continue to drown in our own insecurities. For example, doubt and fear will only hinder us. How do we pick ourselves up to move forward? We analyze our strengths and weaknesses. For instance, what do we have right here and now in front of us to work with and what do we need to have in order to get us to where we want to be? We must take the steps we are guided to take.

Take the Stairs to get to your destination

Climbing the Stairs One Golden Foot at A Time

Once upon a time, you were scared to move forward with your dreams. Now that you know what you want, you still continue to go back and forth with your mind. You contemplate how will I ever get to where I want to be? You question yourself over and over again. “Do I take this risk”? Do I take the first step up the ladder? What if I fall again? You can’t really fall any further if you are already on the ground. You can either stay where you are and drown or you can take the first step into your future. The “key” here is to know what you want. What is your end goal? This gives you a purpose to pursue. So put on your golden shoes and follow the yellow brick road.

The more you learn in your journey the better it will be. Continue to take the steps necessary to reach your goals. Yes, there will be road blocks and obstacles. At this point, if you have the courage and strength to keep going, nothing will stop you from getting to where you want to be except you. You are the master and creator of your own destiny.

Creating The Foundation with Building Blocks

Remember when you were young sitting in the playroom at the doctor’s office stacking building blocks. Of course you wanted to build the highest tower without it falling. Then your brother or sister comes running over to you and halts right in front of it. The tower you just built begins to sway at the top and then bang, it all collapses just by his or her heavy breathing. Go figure right? I used to get so upset when my sister or cousin did that to me. But hey I gathered them all back up and started building again. I seem to repeat this step with some areas in my life.

They come in all shapes and sizes

Is it a trend?

Some would debate the issue, but as I have gotten older I have realized that it’s ok to start all over. We learn by making mistakes and it teaches us to keep trying until we feel safe, secure and satisfied with our plans. We all have to start somewhere and we all have to fail at some point. See this is what shows us what we are made of. Will it break me? The answer is No. Will it hurt me? The answer is Yes. A great example is when you are first learning to walk, but determined and persistent as you are, you learn to walk. Everytime you fell, sometimes right on your face cause you couldn’t work the hand in front of my face save yet, you still tried to get back up and try again. The trend in this case would be you only learned to crawl and that’s it. Walking involved more muscles and strength.

The key to a good foundation is making sure it’s level. How can my foundation be sturdy and strong if my first blocks are completely unlevel and shakey? That leaves much open for insects, rodents, cracks, water, you name it. My body, mind and soul are all part of my foundation. I have to be strong emotionally, physically and spiritually in order for me to pursue anything I put my mind too. I believe that our personal journey in life gets us balanced at the end. Of course the scale fluctuates on either side because I’m still learning and growing. The Journey is the best part and the most remembered.

It’s A Walk of Balance

Why Is A Leveled Structure Useful?

Being balanced helps us evolve. Everytime we rebuild or build from scratch we go back to the fundamentals that helped frame us. I used this technique when I went back to college as an older adult and earned my degree, when I purchased my first home, when I took my kids to Disney for the first time, when I got my first job and now Sheri’s Dream Catcher. Sure I have things to fix and improve upon both personally and professionally but it’s made me see all the wonderful things I can do and achieve.
