The road to any dream begins with the willingness to take a single step what small step are you willing to?

Question

take today to start living the life you really want?

Answer 1

(old Chinese proverb) "the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.." might want to add onto this, "can you eat an elephant? (yes) "one bite at a time.." And, yes..it all starts with the "Dream!' "then you can make the Journey to that dream.. "The Journey and the Dream!" I was given a dream when i was 16, and still living it to this day...sometimes i wish it to happen faster...but, you can't rush progress...just stay on the path and keep punching away at it a little at a time...eventually..it starts to unfold more and more as life continues...(so cool too!) "Peace!" never give up..never surrender! :)

Answer 2

I don't think it will help much unfortunately. This case was resolved because it was largely publicized and authorities didn't want to look bad in front of the rest of the world. Just look at how much legal hassles it took. Obviously the judge sympathized with the husband, not with the girl. But marrying nubile girls is not considered paedophilia in Muslim countries. It is a common practice, though they try to be very discreet about it. Not only do fundamentalist Muslims consider women as goods to be traded between men. But the Prophet Muhammad himself set the example that every Muslim is bound to follow: "(The Prophet) married then Aisha who was a 6 years old girl; she was 9 years old when the marriage was consummated." (as narrated by Hisham's father, Bukhari LVIII 236). So that regardless of secular law, no Muslim on Earth consider it a sin or a crime to marry a nubile girl. It is considered to be a man's right an duty. Edit: Does anyone see that someone is proving me right ? Whoever dared to thumb down all the answers above down to mine ? All answers express disapproval one way or another. So they have to be thumbed down by someone who is comfortable with the idea of marrying a child...

Answer 3

Some of the past of once life is sometimes what can not be undone.
In that case it could be a bit difficult to wish away the consequencies. Much less having the willingness to step on.
All the same life offers a few choices to us.

Answer 4

Living the dream but without the old, great bod, so last

up cheese. Really a hard one. I've got the willingness
but we'll see about the tenacity. Happy Sunday Rena!

Answer 6

I would try to take a step in controlling my Anger, it seems that any little thing that happens makes me angry. My poor Husband is the one who takes the outburst of my anger, I always apologize but the harm has been done. So, I would need to count to ten when something happens with my kids or with someone else.

Answer 7

I've taken a small step that will hopefully lead me to a greater one. I plan to spend more time alone. I want to find the hope in myself, because only after I do that will I be able to find the hope in others.

Answer 8

to study hard for finals to make the desired dreams which in turn will turn my GPA into a higher one and in the end i will hopefully end with a 3.0 GPA by the end of the spring 2009 semester as that is my hope and dream. study hard yet smart and not let anything get in my way!

Answer 9

I don't dream. I do things or I don't, but I don't dream about doing something. I lost my sense of purpose a long time ago and I lost my sense identity with marriage. I have no dreams. I have few goals, but I don't set myself for things I cannot have, or cannot reach. Again, my child's needs come first.
