What could you be doing in your life right now if you just took the first step? We are so scared sometimes of what people would think or say. We also allow our self doubt or fear keep us from moving forward. So many excuses at times to keep us from taking that step because we are afraid we may fail.

I can think of hundred different time I had great opportunities to do something great but didn’t take the first step. I think about when I was 19 and never had the courage to talk to Glassboy (barback) at Southern. I remember the great trip to Paris my friend Robert invited me to go on and I let the fear of flying keep me from going. I remember how many times I had the chance to say something to stand up for someone but I didn’t and remained silent so they wouldn’t turn on me. I remember how many times I chose to be negative in a situation instead of see the positive side. I remember how many times I let relationships grow apart because I didn’t want to put the work into them.

So I made the choice to learn from all these memories and learn to take the first step. Once you get moving forward there is nothing to stop you from creating great things!

Think of all the times in your life you didn’t take the first step and NOW think of all the times you will take that first step and start living your life out loud!

Remember, the first step is the only scary one.
