quote:
One step at a time
"What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step."
-- Antoine De Saint-Exupery
Does the prospect of changing and growing seem monumental to you? Just too much to tackle?
Then consider this approach. Take a simple step of affirming your openness to experience more or something new. Or a different first step might be to let go of judgment by embracing the neutral. Begin to see the people, activities and things around you as neither good nor bad.
A journey is made of many small steps. Don’t focus on a far-off destination if you’re not clear how to get there. Build a foundation that is solid for you. We get to new places one step at a time.
"You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step."
-- Martin Luther King, Jr.
"One may walk over the highest mountain one step at a time."
-- John Wanamaker
Every morning, I get up and do what I call the 1, 2, 3 Waltz. For me the spiritual principles of these Steps help me to deal with life on life's terms. Honesty, Surrender, Acceptance, Open Mindedness, and Willingness are great tools to live in today.
It isn't about using alcohol and drugs, that hasn't been a problem for 16 years. I have a thinking problem and I had to learn not to not escape reality by substituting other things. No matter what the substance is, it leads to the same soul sickness.
