The journey of thousand miles...!

    "The journey of thousand miles" is an expression which once heard fill the hearts and souls of listeners with a mixture of excitement, adventure and fear at the same time. I remember hearing it for the first time from our school's director Dr. Najem Haddad when I was in grade 9 and preparing myself for the first official exams that I am going to go through in my life. I still remember the sound of my heart beating and how my breathe became heavy.

     In fact, the journey of the thousand miles really begins from the very second in which we are born in. It is full of sub-journeys in which some are short and some are long; some are smooth and some are rough. These sub-journeys that lie within the journey of the thousand miles refer to goals, tasks and actions which build our personalities and lives.
   
    For such journeys to happen and mark lives, one must take a first step; it is of vital importance of achieving any goal. A person have to take the first step, and the others will follow. A person need to act and move toward his goals. Often laziness and inner resistance raise up like mountains preventing him from taking the first step. All what is needed is taking the first step.

   After all, goals are the triggers that launch the journey of the thousand miles that shape our lives. These goals that we aim to accomplish are the fruits of our dreams. However, day dreaming won't get us anywhere. The goals that form our sub-journeys lying within the journey of thousand miles, get on track when we take the very first step and start doing actions and tasks that serve accomplishing this goal.
    So set your goals and take the first step toward success and pride; toward life itself.
