Many people are afraid to take the first step towards success as they consider it to be the most difficult one, but in my opinion, small steps help us to reach our final destination.
Why taking the first step is important?
The first step marks a decision, a new direction; it declares that we will go forward despite our fears or self-doubt. The first step gives us momentum and belief in our project, whether it’s starting a blog or a new business.
How can a person reach the top of the mountain without climbing the initial steps?
Following are some of the points that will help you to get started:
i) Take out an hour every day from your busy routine and learn new skills.
ii) Make a checklist of your daily targets.
iii) Be very focused on your challenges.
iv) Track your progress.
Doing something hastily can ruin the work entirely. The same can be said about any journey, be it the starting journey of our lives such as learning to walk or the journey of education. All big things require a lot of effort as well as patience.
You cannot become a popular author without the hardship of not having the perfect plot in the book, every famous author must have read many books of various genres and acquired the best knowledge plus increased the vocabulary, so it is very clear that small steps make the way to our success easier.
You cannot cheat the stages of growth. You have to grow as your body allows but with small steps such as eating soft meals and crawling. All journeys require your time and patience, as they do not have any shortcuts. Many accidents in daily life originate because of the thought to try and take a shortcut when you obviously cannot.
Every day comes up with different challenges, but Allah (S.W.T) has promised in The Holy Quran that “After hardship comes ease”, so don’t be afraid of challenges.
Everyone has at least one big thing that becomes a hurdle in their way to success, find yours and deal with it.
