The Crucial First Step Towards Success

Take your first step towards success!

Have you given a thought to a situation or an experience which made you to take an important step in your life? Yes, we are talking about that interesting moment in your life. Be it when you decided to pursue higher education in the midst of your job. Or if you can relate to an instance, when in a strained marriage, one partner steps forward to settle down the differences with the other for the sake of their children and, thus, this ends up in making it a trustful and happier bonding. Or remember your first take in a screen test for acting that brought you a break in the film industry. If you have been encountered with any of the situations like this, then that special moment, when you stepped in, was the most important one, i.e., the first step towards it.

Your first step in an endeavour is the crucial one. It is this one step that can take you places. Some thoughts evolve in our mind but don’t take its desired shape. They die away as we move on in life. One can opt to act upon it or just keep on pondering over it.

Now, think about that point in life when you restrained yourself to take a leap and somewhere deep in your heart, repent for not taking that first step. Say, you have feelings in your heart for a girl in your office but haven’t expressed it yet. Or you once aimed to become an IAS officer but did not appear for the exam being afraid of not clearing it. Or you wanted to join a renowned company but didn’t go for the interview. These situations give us a sense of regret that we had not taken a chance for the opportunity that striked at one point in our life.

What’s needed to set your mind to take the first step towards a goal is the courage and positive attitude. Your self determination will drive you towards it. You should not let it go as a mere dream. Unleash your potential to accomplish that thing. It is easier said than done. No doubt, you’ll be faced with many obstacles on your way but you have to overcome them. It’s you and only you who can do it. No other can help you out but your own will-power. 

So, if you have a desire in your mind to do something, and you are waiting for the right time to come, then think again. The right time is now. They say “think before you leap” but do take a leap before it’s too late. If at all you don’t succeed, at least you had the guts to give it a try than not. This will give you a sense of achievement even in such a failure, if not success, in the form of a valuable experience that you’ll earn yourself with the effort. You will not go empty-handed, my friend, any way!
