Exodus 14 of the Bible includes a famous
story everyone’s heard about: The parting of the Red Sea.
The Israelites were fleeing captivity and slavery in Egypt at
the hands of Pharaoh.
With the Egyptian army closing in on them, the Israelites stood
at the edge of the Red Sea with nowhere to go.
So God told Moses to stretch out his arm to part the
waters…
BUT the waters didn’t part until the children of Israel TOOK A
STEP toward the Red Sea.
In the New Testament of the Bible, while Jesus was walking on
water, he told Peter to take a step toward him – ON the water – to
meet him.
These stories remind me that the first step is usually the
hardest.
(Or, as we say in boxing, the first round is the hardest.)
For example, at the half-marathon most of my Coaches and I ran
in Jackson Hole, Wyoming this year, that first mile was the
hardest.
The first step is usually the scariest, too, no matter what
you’re doing…starting a business, going on a first date, or even
starting the Code Red Lifestyle™.
I wish more people understood that NOT taking that hard or scary
first step is worse than the fear or difficulty of taking it.
I’m not good at very many things, but I don’t fear taking
chances, because when I take a chance, I have a 50/50 chance of
being right.
Sometimes I’m right. Sometimes I’m not. But I find out.
If I don’t take a chance, on the other hand, I have a zero
percent chance of being right.
Tune into this episode to find out why taking that first step
and finding out if you’re right is the key to an amazing,
fulfilling life that you’ll be proud of (and quite possibly, the
key to getting and keeping your weight off).
