Once upon a time, there was a little train sitting at the start of a long, winding track. The first piece of trail stretched out before it, but the little train was frozen in place. It gazed far ahead, where the track disappeared into the unknown. Mountains, valleys, and bridges awaited, too vast to comprehend. “How can I ever travel such a long distance?” it wondered. “The whole journey is too overwhelming to begin.”
The little train hesitated, unsure of where to start, for it feared the challenges ahead and the uncertainty of the path. But an old conductor, seeing the little train’s doubt, whispered, “Do not worry about the whole journey. You will never see the entire path from here. But if you take the first step, the rest will unfold in time.”
With a deep breath, the little train took its first chug forward. As it passed the first piece of trail, it felt lighter, more confident. The path ahead still seemed vast, but each turn brought new discoveries, and with every step, the journey became clearer. Slowly, the train learned that it was never about seeing the whole journey at once – it was about moving forward, one step at a time.
Moral of the Story: Don’t let the fear of the unknown paralyze you. The bigger plan will always seem daunting from the start, but by taking the first step, the journey begins, and the path will reveal itself as you move forward.
