One Small Step

What lies ahead?

I have been thinking about that a lot recently. What lies ahead for me? Other than the aura of uncertainty, what indeed lies ahead?

For the first time in many years, I am in fear; I fear for the inevitable changes. I have become too comfortable at where I am; comfortable to the extent that I may have become too complecent. The gung-ho spirit and never-say die attitude – they are still buried deep inside, in need of a wake-up call. I am not burnt out; just lack the motivation to take that step.   

I am in need of strength to move forward, and ironically, it helps to look back to move forward. I have just taken that one step I need, after holding myself back for so long. That is all it will take, one small step to move everything in that one direction: forward.
