Although this has born out to be true in my life, there&#8217;s also the prep part that happens before you take that first step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the meat of where you&#8217;re going, how you&#8217;ll get there and when you might arrive. But don&#8217;t count on ever reaching that goal you fully intend to get to when you start out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is also the part we have least control over. You&#8217;re writing on the illusive universe of timelessness, weightless ideas and fearless intrepidness. You can literally do anything in this stage. It can take a few moments or years. But beware. If you rush forward to that exciting first step without completing this obligatory stargazing&#8230;it could lead to broken dreams, heartache and untold regrets. What&#8217;s great is that you&#8217;ll get a huge boost when you&#8217;re finally ready. Worth the wait. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For all the same reasons above, it could also be the most fun of all of your stages in achieving anything. Spend some time. Play it out&#8211;in a hundred different ways. Let your imagination go full throttle! Enjoy the process and you&#8217;ll find that you&#8217;ll go places you never could have imagined before you got started! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is my first step. I know what I love and have a number of different outcomes. Having played this game before, I understand that it doesn&#8217;t matter what the end is going to be. It only matters that we get started! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join in for a fascinating ride!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gloriaslater.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DAWN-OF-A-NEW-YOU-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-215\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gloriaslater.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DAWN-OF-A-NEW-YOU-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.gloriaslater.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DAWN-OF-A-NEW-YOU-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.gloriaslater.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DAWN-OF-A-NEW-YOU-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Dawn of a New You<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<span class=\"fb_share\"><fb:like href=\"http:\/\/www.gloriaslater.com\/blog\/2054-2\/\" layout=\"box_count\"><\/fb:like><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting Started I have said for many years, from my own experience, of course, that when you take the first step you&#8217;re halfway to the goal.
