Sometimes there are many, many steps between you and your final destination.
But the only way to get there, is to take that first step.
If it seems too high, or you are scared of heights, just look straight ahead with your hand on the railing and keep on walking.
Eventually, you will reach your goal.
Update: People who know me know I'm not a big boxing fan. But this video isn't really about boxing (or at least you need not look at it that way). As the web-site says, consider instead that it's about taking that first step. Which can only come after you have made the decision, established the intention, and changed your direction. Go farther. Go higher.

I have found that the first step (or perhaps it wasn't the 1st) sometimes involves a tripping action, other times it requires a great leap, but the constant effort of step after courageous step is tremendously important in achieving anything worth achievement. I do enjoy these daily reminders, thanks for your diligence in posting!
That's a good point Boswell. No one said the first step was going to be easy; in fact, many would say it is perhaps the hardest, given the inertia of our habits.
But oh, to set a course and climb to a different peak -- what a journey!
Thanks for your continued visits.
