Your Life Lessons - When in doubt, just take the next small step.

Apollo 11 was the spaceflight that landed the first two people on the Moon. Mission commander Neil Armstrong and pilot Buzz Aldrin, both American, landed the lunar module Eagle on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC.  <Wikipedia>

Celebrating 49 years ago today, the US landed and walked on the moon.

I remember where I was - watching on TV at home as this historic event happened.  That night when the moon shined in the sky, I was wondered if they could see me. 

This mission started with small steps.  On May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy announced his goal of putting a man on the moon by the end of the decade in a historic speech before a joint session of Congress that set the United States on a course to the moon.  It was that goal, that set thousands of steps into action.

All things in life start with a goal, and then steps to bring the idea to life.  When we feel overwhelmed by a goal, or just the number of items that  need to be done, we need to sit back a moment and start with a small step, any step.  The momentum of a step closer to the task or idea begins to build and the subsequent steps come easier.

Today - do something.  Take a step.  You'll be a bit closer and enjoy your journey in life a bit more.
