All of my journeys, regardless of the distances or destinations, began with single steps. 

Unless those first steps, and all of the additional steps that followed, were purposeful, my journeys may well have become eternally repeated, fruitless cycles of walking in circles.

Without a crystal clear understanding of exactly WHERE I was going, WHY I was going there, WHAT I needed to do to get there, HOW I needed to do it, and WHO I needed to be, would it have been possible for me to have ever arrived at a meaningful destination?

Would it have been possible for me to realize my full POTENTIAL?

Would it have been possible for me to truly MATTER or MATTER at all?
