You must take the first step. The first steps will take some effort, maybe pain. But after that, everything that has to be done is real-life movement.

The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.

The first step is you have to say that you can.

The mind's first step to self-awareness must be through the body.

We don't want to get into protracted discussions on who takes what steps first and how we calibrate each step, ... sort out things boldly about how we can make some important steps forward.

The first step in good reporting is good snooping.
