Senri no michi mo ippo kara

“Even the longest journey begins with a first step.” …it doesn’t matter what stage of life we are at; everything started with a first step and we are halfway to a future that we shouldn’t feel overwhelmed by.

If you are thinking about taking up a new hobby, embarking on a new relationship or making a career change, and you freeze at the thought of the chasm you will have to cross, the best thing is to focus on taking the first step.

You will soon look back and realize that what you began with a single step has now turned into a long journey. What’s more–and this is the most important thing–you will no longer be the person you were at the beginning. You will have grown as a human being.
