You know you don’t have to know it all right now, right?

You just have to know the next right step.

Your dream or passion or whatever it is that you’re wanting to accomplish/achieve/do probably has many steps you need to take in order to get there.

But you don’t have to know every single step and every single process and every single thing that might go wrong or might go right, before you decide that you’re going to take what you know right now and then take the next right step.

You can always know the next right step.

Chasing a dream is hard. It’s work. It’s not that there isn’t a touch of glamour to the whole living-your-passion thing, there is. But it’s also just a whole lot of hard work. And just like anything else that’s worth having, it always comes down to one simple thing: take the next right step.

Yes, you want to do your homework, learn as much as you can about the process, weigh options carefully and not just jump in headfirst without some sort of idea where you’re going.

But don’t ever mistake the perfect step for the next right one.

Because you just might find yourself waiting forever to figure out the perfect step, and the truth is that there is no perfect step. There’s only the next right one.

The next right one for you to take from where you are, with what you have.

The next right step that will take you one step closer to where you want to go.

The next right step is always the right one for you to take.

Will it be perfect? Probably not.

But a perfect step that you never take will never get you where you want to go.

Taking the next right step, however imperfect, will always bring you one step closer. You’ll either fail and learn or succeed and step forward again.

You might not know what the step after it will be. Or the one after that.

But don’t have to know it all right now.

You just have to know the next right step.

And then step out and take it.
