Slow Starts Are Better Than a No Start

It is funny how sometimes our expectations are crushed if within fifteen minutes of us getting our business license customers are not lined up around the block or if after walking for ten minutes we have not lost forty pounds. We must realize that it is an achievement and the first step towards immeasurable success in just taking action. When we get that business license or walk those ten minutes we have broken out of complacency and taken a step in faith towards our goal. So often people spend lifetimes talking about what they are going to do or the classic cliche "One day I'm going to when...". We have heard the phrase one step at a time, and truly in order to reach our goals in this life we must take it one step at a time. Many sprinters will tell us how crucial their first step is in their success in a race. That first step could be the difference in a Gold medal or a Bronze medal, it could be a trip to the Olympics or a ride back to their hometown, not making the cut. Some will go on to tell us that even if their first step is not what they wanted it doesn't mean they have lost the race, but simply they have to run alittle harder and alittle faster to get their Gold medal. One thing we have to remember is that a sprinter will never have an opportunity to get any medal if they never take a step. Regardless of our expectations we must remember any step towards our goal is better than no step. We must thank God, our heavenly Father, for every step he allows us to make towards our goals because truly taking a step is our first step towards immeasurable success. Let me know what you think TW.
