One Step At A Time

A HEALTHY life is reached one step at a time.

The world today is all about instant gratification and, Right NOW! We have the knowledge, the technology, and the credit to desire and acquire anything in a matter of minutes. We expect quick, fast, express, and in a hurry as the standard in almost everything we do.

In our quest for a healthy life, our need for speed often works against us. If you’re overweight, or out of shape, it is more than likely it took more than 30 days to happen. Therefore, it will take more than 30 days to get in shape and drop the extra pounds. Enter this process with the mindset to take one step at a time!

I have been listening to a song being overplayed on the radio lately, One Step At A Time by Jordin Sparks. This song has a great message for all of us in many areas of our lives. Here are the lyrics.

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you’ve always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can’t touch

[Bridge]
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you’re gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face and the door keeps slamming
Now you’re feeling more and more frustrated
And you’re getting all kind of impatient waiting
We live and we learn to take

[Chorus]
One step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen when it’s
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

[Verse 2]
You believe and you doubt
You’re confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

[Bridge]
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you’re gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face and the door keeps slamming
Now you’re feeling more and more frustrated
And you’re getting all kind of impatient waiting
We live and we learn to take

[Chorus]
One step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen when it’s
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

[Verse 3]
When you can’t wait any longer
But there’s no end in sight
When you need to find the strength
It’s the faith that makes you stronger
The only way we get there
Is one step at a time

[Chorus]
Take one step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen when it’s
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

[Chorus]
One step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen when it’s
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
