The First Step

What step matters most? Is it the one you first take as a baby? or one that you take to ask a girl out? The First Step you took to get a job or make a friend in one of your classes? In life we take many steps but we fail to see the significance of each.

Clouded by the movement of the world, our steps seem to meaningless. Do you take time to stop and stand still on a busy sidewalk? I think not, and i feel that its becasue no one else around you is stopping to look up, put the phone down, or just breathe. Overwhelmed by the atmosphere of a busy sidewalk, our minds race to catch the heels of those in front of us. Significant? Are you embracing each step you take?

My brothers and sisters, nothing hurts me more than seeing the busyness of life engulf our thoughts. Do you have a time to rest? Are you too busy with him or her to see others? Do electronics cloud your mind, like they do mine? Pointing out flaws in your life is not my purpose today, I simply choose to embrace a topic and step out to challenge you to think differently.

Where are you going? Why are you going? Do you ever stop to think there is something more? More that the mundane weekly habits? I fall just as you do into a trap worthless for us both. What good comes from stepping out and getting denied, hurt, or rejected? I have no answer for that but, is it possible that there may be an answer to why you go on living that way?

Life has trapped us and once we get stuck once, we are hesitant to step out and move forward. Your scared, I'm scared! I tremble to step out and get hurt again. I hide my thoughts, my feelings, my emotions, and truly seek to do it myself, or just give up and no longer care. I can not do it alone, and for so long i tried. Stepping forward from the past is very hard, but once you can overcome the fear of The First Step, although you may fall, you begin to see a new light, and confidence in your life.

Each intricate step has been laid down for you and I to step into. What is stopping you from taking A Look Back, and A Step Forward, to live fearlessly.
