Journey of thousand miles...

Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

A man who returned from a world tour was once asked to name the most difficult part of his journey. "Stepping out from the house," he replied.

Beginning is often the most difficult part of any endeavor. As the old saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Well begun is half done. Do not hesitate to step out from your comfort zone and begin your adventure.

Do not wait for all the signals to become green. You are paid for your actions, not just your words. To make it happen, you must stop talking and swing into action. Every successful journey in history started with that single bold step. Once you begin, the path gets easier with every passing mile.

"The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."

— Robert Frost

The secret to success is to start sooner and work harder than your competitors. There is no day like today, and today is the absolute best time to start.
