The Magnificent Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with a Single Step~Lao Tzu


💙What magnificent journey are you on?

💙Why are you dragging your feet?

💙What overwhelms you as you contemplate your future?


'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.'

Lao Tzu

If you accept life is one magnificent thousand mile journey after 
another to be traveled one step at a time, your journey will be easier.



Don't Overwhelm Yourself

Don't focus on the thousand miles;
Concentrate on actively taking one step 
of the magnificent journey at a time instead.




Stop Worrying 

Stop holding your breath.
Allow your heart to empty of all turmoil.

Begin each day with relaxed breathing. 
Choose to be inspired and relaxed daily.



Breath in Inspiration, Breath out Calm

Breath in inspiration, and take a single step.

Breath out calm, and begin your daily journey.



Learn to Labor and Wait

All good things come to she who labors and waits.

Patiently take one step, and then another. 



'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.' 

Lao Tzu

All good things comes to she who labors and waits.

Allow your heart to empty of turmoil.

Take a step.

Begin. 



Becoming Your Magnificent Self

The photo this 'thousand mile art' was created on is one I took of 
our paper poppies birthing caps placed on the garden table.

I watched the poppy birth for over an hour as it
emerged from a capped bud to become a magnificent and spectacular flower.

All of life ebbs and flows through cycles of birth and regeneration,
and you're always beginning a journey of a thousand miles.

With patience and an allowing attitude you'll bloom 
to become the magnificent and spectacular being 
you are created to be over and over again.

Accept the magnificent journey~
choose to savor life's moments,
overcome its challenges,
revere its mystery, 
and release its disappointments along the way.
