What’s Your Next Step?

Every once in a while I will read something incredible that makes me stop and stare. I read a quote from the book The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, which was simple yet powerful. The boy and the horse were wandering in the forest when the boy said " I don't know where we are or where we are going". The horse replied, "can you see your next step"? The boy replied, "Yes I can". Then the horse said, "Then take it". As someone with a plethora of goals and ambitions, I often find myself living in the future and focusing all too often on the end goal. Occasionally I may hit a plateau or find myself in a tough situation which can allow doubt and negativity to creep into my mind. The message from the book hit home this week and I am excited to adopt this mindset for the future. It's comforting to know that I don't always need to know how I will get to my end goal, just that I need to know where my next step is and take it. With each step you take the more confidence you will develop and the momentum will continue to propel you forward. When you feel lost in life, just look for your next step and take it, never look back and keep your head up high!
