I was listening to some old tracks and surfing through my recent status when something caught me thinking. For a while i was lost in a trance. Nothing could have been much clearer than this. The thought of writing it down stroke me like a thunder strike. I thought i had just some few words resonating in me. Little did i know it was a whole story. I had just glanced upon one of Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous quotes and it reads..
“Take the first step in faith, you don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”
I realised from this statement that most things that i dont do is because i never made attempts to begin them. Before starting writing this article, i was contemplating on what to begin with. I had just a line of idea on mind. But the line of idea told me to start and the staircase will roll just before me. And so i started. Many at times that i want to begin something, i dont because i measure how huge it is and believe in myself that it will take years. I know most of you are in the same dilemma.
Let me tell you what this world is made up. I believe steemit is experiencing the same thing. There was a computer geek who knew how to write programs. He saw another programmers code and on a first glance could tell how shitty it was going to become with time. He conceived an idea of making something far more superior. He wanted to create something similar but unique and so he started it. A year passed and he saw the growth of the shitty program still outweighed that of his wonderful algorithm. He then decided to create another program as a solution to expose off the old program to the entire world. This is the birth of Steemit.

He created a wonderful program. Flawless in his eyes until issues started appearing. Currently steemit is awesome but no match for its predecessor(bitcoin) as at now. Steemit has moved through several stages and its still evolving into something better. Now a new addition is being added to make it much more awesome. All of these progress are as a result of problems encountered and solved as the program grew over years. The first step is always that which matters.
I am not saying its going to be easy as you want to accomplish that task or project you are feeling hesitant to start. But i can tell you, it takes only small concerted efforts to make it happen. Use time as a weapon and divide all your task in small and easily achievable objectives. Indeed Just take the First Step.
