One of the biggest lies depression tells us is that we need to have everything figured out before we take the first step.
We think we need a perfect plan.
We think we need certainty
We think we need to know exactly how we're going to get from where we are today to where we want to be.
But that's not how growth works.
Most people who accomplish incredible things didn't start because they knew exactly what they were doing.
They started because they were willing to take one small step despite not knowing.
One phone call.
One workout.
One application.
One conversation.
One day of not giving up.
You don't have to know how you're going to get through the next year.
You don't even have to know how you're going to get through the next month.
Sometimes all you need to do is take the next step.
The path often becomes visible after you start walking it.
What's something in your life you've been waiting to start?
