Step Forward with Confidence

July 8, 2025 - Any goal requires a first step. And sometimes, that step can be the most difficult of all.

Here are a few ideas to help make that initial effort a little less painful.

1. Don't look too far down the road. If I focus too much on the rest of the journey, I will certainly get overwhelmed.

2. Realize that everyone's first step will look different. I don't have to do this in the same way or at the same rate as anyone else.

3. Approach that first step with curiosity, not fear; learn to develop a healthy sense of anticipation. Instead of thinking what might go wrong, I need to think about what might go right.

4. Let go of expectations. Will my whole journey toward my goal look exactly as I planned it? Probably not. But that doesn't mean I'm on the wrong path.

5. Lastly, I can enjoy the journey and look forward to all I will learn along the way.

My hike to Timpanogos Cave is sure to be a wonderful adventure. I hope your journey to your goals is the same.

​So, until next time, always keep your eye on the One that loves you most. Ciao!
