“Fret not where the road will take you. Instead, concentrate on the first step.
That is the hardest part and that is what you are responsible for.
Once you take that step, let everything do what it naturally does and the rest will follow.
Do not go with the flow. Be the flow.”
— Elif Shafak, “The Forty Rules of Love”
If you are currently wondering what to do, if the goal seems too distant, too unattainable, or too complex—ask yourself just one question: What is the first step? And do only one thing—take that step. What the next step is will become clear only after that. This is how we create in partnership with life—by staying open to possibilities and taking just one step at a time.
The first step… the next step.
