The Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu said “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” to teach us that journeys, whether they be long or short, challenging or straightforward, life altering or incidental, all begin with one step forward and continue with steps that, when viewed together, measure the arc of a journey.
