Next Right Step...

When life hands you big choices...I am talking those monumental ones that have a way of changing someone's entire life path...we often are frozen in fear of making the wrong choice. I certainly have felt that way numerous times in my life. When we are faced with physical fear we often can rely on our "fight or flight" natural instinct to make the decision for us but when it comes to less immediate harm and more permanent results we often find our natural instinct has taken flight and indecision is fighting to take over our brains.

Many of the best minds in the business world have also faced situations like these. Some of them were on the brink of bankruptcy or were facing huge lawsuits. Some of them even lost it all and had to start again from rock bottom. Some of them faced personal crisis with their family members or their own health. All of them have said the same thing...

When you don't know which way to turn just do the next right step.

You don't have to know where your destination is. You don't have to know the goal. You don't have to know how to get there. You just make the next right choice, the next right decision, the next right step...then you keep doing that over and over again until you can look back and see how far you have come.

Sometimes the next right step is to the left and the then next right step is to the right and then the next one is back. You don't have to keep moving in the same direction as the first step you just take the next right step based on where you are in the moment. Before long you will be able to see the right steps in front of you. The path behind you may be long and curvy and even have some moments where you backtracked for a while but in the end you will know each step was the right one at that particular moment in time.

Just keeping moving...one step at a time.
