“Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase."

by Martin Luther King, Jr.


My first step ....

10 years ago, I quit my job and took my first step of faith to pursue my passion. Many people called me “crazy” but sometimes in life, you have to be crazy and wild to do the thing you love and to get the things you want. No doubt, it was the scariest step but an exciting journey of faith and I am enjoying every bit of it now. Where I am today...I still have my ups and downs but I am going to take it easy, one step at a time. Stay focused and determined!!!

NOW, I am taking my first step ..... Writing my first blog here! Fearful? Yes! I've never written any blog before and I am taking the challenge and "I do it scared!"

I believe every success journey begins with a first step and taking that first step is always the most difficult. Fear is something many people struggle with and fear keeps them from succeeding. Fear of failure, fear of being fired, fear of stepping out of their comfort zone, fear of writing and etc … Our mind is constantly battling with fear and eventually creating excuses to chicken out. Without overcoming our fear, it is impossible to make a difference in life. Sometimes in life, it pays not to think too much or too far. Focus on one realm at a time, taking one simple step at a time, which you feel, comfortable and not intimidated. Begin by taking one small simple step that you are not afraid of doing it and practically guarantee success.

Don't let fear stops you from trying new things and doing the things you love. I wish you all Success and Happiness!

Fannetta, after reading your first blog I don't think is anything you have to fear in that regard. You write very well, the image reinforces the writing. Keep doing what you did here without fear and see how that feels.

Thanks! You are so encouraging.

I agree as well. Fear is to be taken seriusly - understand it, devise a plan of attach, then get rid of it by overcoming it. This is whay I do in my life & it has worked for me to date.

Nice post & keep it you - you'll have a great future, my friend.

Best wishes... Jay Barnelli

Thanks. Wish u success!

Hi Fannetta, Nice post and you are so right about the one step at a time. Success will come by taking it one step at a time and not skip the steps ( as in lessons ). Points in your post, for instance not to think too much, or over think too much, because it only clouds your mind, and you end up losing sight of what you are actually doing. Anyhow all the very best in your journey to success.

Hi Robert, thanks for reading. Let's stay focused. Wish you success!

Hey, totally agree with u! I hope that we can turn our passion to business. Enjoy what we are passionate about and earn at the same time. I believe it is possible! So let's stay focus! Be patience!
To stay relax and focus, I practice yoga daily. Same goes to you right? Cheers! To our success.

Fannetta, I know exactly what you mean. I quit working as a Web Developer a few years ago. I walked away from a cushy 9-5 job with benefits and vacation pay to attend massage school. I wanted to help people on a deeper, more meaningful level. Some months are a struggle, but I absolutely love working for myself. It was scary, but extremely invigorating! Good luck with your blog posts. :O)

Hey! Thank you so much for taking the first step to add a comment to my blog. Greatly and humbly appreciated. I wish you success!

Hi Fannetta, a beautifully written piece and I love the analogy of taking one small simple step you are not afraid of and that almost guarantees you success... definitely a great idea! I am sure you will be very successful here. Wishing you all the best
