Baby Steps

I always believed that I can do certain things by taking one step at at a time. Baby steps that is. A small step once taken, gives me the courage to take the next baby step. However forced I'm to do a thing, I'll be successful in it only when I'm ready. This however fails when the circumstances forces me to do something when I'm not ready. This is when I learn faster, by making a mistake (rectifying it next time, cos only fools repeat the mistake twice), or by thinking at that moment and taking a step.

When in some flow and I suddenly got surprised by a changed circumstance, I was forced to take steps on my own at that moment, I felt some kinda jump inside me. A question in my head was constantly bombarded: "Can I do it?". I felt stranded in the middle of the crowd. Felt some kinda uneasiness. I became "hyper". And when hyper, thinking capability comes down. I realized something... I first answered back the question in my head: "Yes, I can do it. All I need to be is calm right now". I became calm and took those baby steps. Everything became simpler then. It was like I cant skip the step one and climb directly on step 10. Like on a ladder or on a staircase. I had to go step wise. And it worked. I could handle that surprised circumstance. I could conquer my fear about that particular thing and could learn a thing or two too...

A baby step to everything works wonders. Gives me confidence, and gives me a new experience. A feel good about myself too. A boost that yea I can do it whatever be the problem. I can come out of it. I just need to take a baby step that is...

A simple (step/) secret to BIG problems. ;)
