“Take a massive baby step.”

There is something about oxymorons – such as the one presented in today’s quote – that appeals to me. A few that always get me thinking are:

• Awful Good
• Bittersweet
• Crash Landing
• Original Copy
• Student Teacher
• Working Vacation

And of course, my favorite: JUMBO SHRIMP.

Placing these contrary terms next to one another causes me to ponder life’s inherent conflicts and incongruities.

As a coach, I often encourage my clients to take the first steps toward their goals and objectives. Once they overcome inertia, the momentum of the first baby steps often lead to the next and then the next.

EXERCISE:

What area of your personal or professional life might call for a massive baby step?

What might life look like from where you stand once you do?

Consider seeking the help of a close friend, family member, mentor, or coach for added support.
