walk the first block

“You can’t go the extra mile until you first traverse the essential mile.” – TK Coleman

Where do we start?  How do we start?  Many people are asking these questions right now.  And it’s ok to be starting now.  There’s a lot of information for people to digest right now.  A lot of opinions, a lot of voices.  People want to help, people want to get involved but… how?  Where?

“If you want to travel 100 miles, you still have to walk the first block.” – TK Coleman

Sometimes, we look at a finish line and it seems too far away to even get started.

Or we look at those in front of us and don’t think we can ever catch up.

But…

“The people who get stuck in life are not the people who start small, it’s the people who don’t start at all because they’re too busy condemning their selves for not being able to do the ideal version on Day 1.” - TK Coleman 

So if you’re trying to figure out what to do or where to go, just take the first step.  Walk the first block.  Have a conversation.  Read a book.  And listen.
