The journey of 1000 steps may begin with just one step, but it is still 1000 steps long:  one foot in front of the other, consistently, persistently, whether you're feeling it or not.  When you're in the flow, it's great!  Everything you touch is golden:  your work is brilliant, you are joyful and at peace, in harmony with your world.  During these times, the journey seems effortless and it feels reasonable to hold big dreams.
