A Step At A Time

A pilgrim wanted to climb a mountain. He started his journey and it was night by the time he reached a village at the base of the mountain. An old wise man of the village lent him a lantern so that he could proceed onwards without delay.

The pilgrim exclaimed, “The light that it gives goes only two steps, is there a more powerful lantern?”

“No problem,” said the old wise man, “It will do. At every step it’ll illuminate the next two steps. Take one step at a time, and you’ll reach your destination.”

The miracle of successful living is that each small positive step towards the destination, attracts more success. Success is a journey and not a destination.
