    Start where you are. It’s enough and it is all you can do.

    And it is enough.  And it is all you can do.  And it’s enough!

    Well, duh! you think. But how many people miss this important first acknowledgement of all journeys and begin with a handicap?

    But when you think about it, how can you possibly find your way to New York if you don’t first acknowledge the fact that you are in Iowa?

    Can you imagine wanting to travel to New York and not being able to pinpoint where you are starting from?

    How would that work?

    Of course the answer is — it wouldn’t.  At some point we begin the journey. But whether we start from a real place that easily facilitates a plan from point A to point B, or we make something about about the place we are starting from.  And that made up place probably doesn’t serve us.

      Who you are right now and where you are at is enough. Where you can go is unlimited but is a journey started with just one small step.
