Your mom may be one step closer to baking her finest cake; your brother may be one step closer to graduating from college; you may be one step closer to helping that man find his way out of addiction; your friend may be one step closer to reaching her dreams. Others may be unfortunately one step closer to suicide; that man walking down the street may be one step closer to murder; that woman sitting in the coffee shop may be one step closer to stealing out of hunger.
My point is that we are all one step closer to something, but it doesn't always mean that we are heading in the right direction. For some it may be toward a road of darkness, lonliness, and utter confusion - asking themselves, "What is this life? What is my purpose?"
Others again, may be one step closer to reaching their dreams.
Think for a second the direction that you are heading and ask yourself, what are you stepping toward? Is it toward your dream, toward a bad choice, toward love, toward hate. Why did you decide to step in that direction in the first place? Was it out of passion, or out of lust, out of love, or out of revenge?
I am never too sure anymore what direction the steps of my feet are taking me in. There are some days that I feel I am heading toward my dreams of impacting others in a significant way. Then there are days when I feel like I am stepping back toward a hole of darkness, and finding myself lost in this confusing life.
It is so hard for a person to take that first step, but we all have to step toward something. My hope is that you are stepping toward something extraordinary.
