Yesterday I ran 8 miles for the first time in my life.  In a row.  Next week, I will run 10.  And on February 18th, I will run a half marathon in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.  As I reach each of these milestones, getting my body to do things it's never done before, I realize what a great metaphor it is for all areas of life.  If you're afraid of starting your own business because you've never made money as an independent before, I can assure you the fear evaporates when someone hands you that first check.  (After that you just have the fear of whether you can do it again.)  Asking your boss for a raise is only impossible until you set the meeting with his secretary and show up for it.  By taking just the first steps toward your dream life, the rest will fall in place.  You may show up for those first steps with your knees knocking, but you will have started the process of amplifying raw possibility into probability, and then into reality. 

Each of us is a perfectly designed possibility amplifier.  Design the reality you want to create, and then take the first step.  The universe will be right there with you.
