What’s the one piece of advice you would give to your younger self? I asked the 86-year old man sat next to me on a long-haul flight.
There are so many steps between where you are, and where you want to be.
Lots of conversations to have. Decision to make. Events to attend.
So much work. A lot of waiting.
Why does it have to be so difficult?
It's hard to see the end.
And even harder to begin.
But once you decide where you want to be, you just have to take the first step.
And not worry about the rest.

And taking that first step.
It clears the path to the next.
And the one after.
They'll somehow keep appearing along the way.
And before you know it, you'll be closer than yesterday.
