Some time ago, I heard such a beautiful phrase, but it didn't make sense right away in my life:
“Take the first step, and the Universe will give you the ground”.
In my head, that phrase was related to surrendering and trusting that we don't need to have our “end” ready and defined, we just need to be willing to take the first step.
Today, however, I understood that this phrase is related to everything in life, including our PURPOSE.
We weren't born (or at least I wasn't born) already aware of what I would do in this life. “What would I be when I grew up?” And to be honest, there are times when I still have doubts if I'm on the right track.
Thinking about future plans makes me stagnant and confused. I easily fall into the trap of creating strategies, far-fetched plans and grandiose projects to grow, when in fact I don't even know what to do tomorrow.
And it was when that old phrase made sense for the first time: “Take the first step, and the Universe will give you the ground”.
We will never know the answers to some (or all) of the questions of life. “What is your purpose?”, “What will you do when you grow up?”, “What are your ‘5 years plan’?”. We will never know exactly which right way to go without literally going. Trying. Making mistakes. Learning. And changing the route.
Life happens when we are on the move. Our mistake is to think that we must have everything ready before starting.
The truth is that we will never be ready for anything.
So, I bring you the question... what's the ′′first step′′ you need to take today?
With love always,
