When we feel stuck, going nowhere-even starting to slip backward-we may actually be backing up to get a running start.

We are here to live moment by moment, and each moment brings a task, a challenge, a goal. It's good to have big goals, but we need to connect the dots between where we are and where we are going, one day, one moment at a time.

Everything you need to know is within you. Listen. Feel. Trust the body's wisdom.
