The First Step

“Don’t let the entire staircase overwhelm you.

Just focus on that first step.”

This is a good reminder to work within our abilities.

The world can look overwhelming at times

but

if we just concentrate on keeping our own ‘worlds’ stable,

we will find that we will be able to cope with life.

Our own ‘little’ worlds

are like that first step.

Looking after this first step

will encourage us to move forwards

and ‘able’ to take the next step.

It is important

to take small, manageable and achievable ‘steps’

to build up confidence in ourselves.

Breaking down ‘steps’ into ‘portions’

means

that we are being sensible with our lives.

We will look at the ‘step’ and think:

“I can do that!”

This will enhance our belief in ourselves —

which is the first step.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

(I chose the picture from experience, because I remember those first steps after my operation on my legs. I was very frightened and nervous, but had amazing help from the Dr, nurses and family. Today I can walk --- not perfect --- but I can, and all because of those first little steps. I hope this encourages some one.)
