START

START: Show … That … "Arriving" … Requires … Taking-off.

To get started on a "journey" requires you to go from where you are today and begin "taking steps" in the direction you want to go. You have to leave the familiarity of the "current state" to head towards your destination.

So one way to START is to SHOW THAT ARRIVING at your destination REQUIRES you TAKING-OFF from "where you are" in order to "land" or "end" where you want to go. You can't get to a new place if you are unwilling to leave where you are now. The familiar can be enticing; it may seem safer to just stay where you are today. If, however, we look to travel to "new places" in our lives the bottom line is that we have to be able to leave so that we can arrive at our port of call.

So, do you know how to START? Will a fresh START make a difference in your life? The journey requires taking steps … I hope you have fun along the way.

  1. Thanks for the encouragement to get started to a new destination. I think there is a lot of ambivalence that goes with starting something new, which you hinted at here. It's hard to leave the familiar behind and step out on a new path. Familiar places are comfortable, easy, comforting. Sometimes, the best way to step out is with a friend, someone to encourage us on our journey.
