stumble upon as if by magic and which accelerate your passage. The path to your dreams unfolds in exactly the same way.

No one can see the whole way. You’ve just got to be willing to put your first foot forward and go on that journey.
MASTIN KIPP
The process of living your dreams is all about the adventure – to see what’s next. No one you look up to, no person who inspires you, started a journey with a certain outcome. They may have had an idea, intention, or end goal, but they had no idea how they were going to get there.
Being in a labyrinth is the very adventure you wanted to have. You didn’t want to see everything, know everything ahead, and be able to make your dreams come true with a snap of your fingers. You wanted the challenge of the journey, because only through overcoming the challenges would you have the real happiness and fulfillment that every human being is searching for.

There are things that will not work the way you put it down, and you have to be prepared through your strategy to change – to take another road. It’s like a labyrinth. You go and you find a dead-end. Well, you turn back and you find another one. But it will still take you to point Z to finish your dream.
When you are on the path to your dreams, a wall might suddenly appear, and you feel like you’ve hit a dead end and you’re finished. But just like being in a labyrinth, no matter how things appear, there is always another path you can take. When you know that the success of your dream is at the center of the labyrinth, you will not be in the least bit daunted by any unexpected twists and turns, because you will know that your success could be around the very next corner. And that’s exactly how dreams come true.

Realize that it may not come all at one time, but if you really want something it’s a cinch by the inch, it’s hard by the yard. Little steps along the way.

I understand people are up against a lot. But even in circumstances of great constraint you can still do one thing. It’s like that Theodore Roosevelt quote, “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” You can pick one thing and dedicate yourself to that, and even if it takes a long time, inch by inch and choice by choice you will carve out a new life for yourself. It doesn’t have to be the Hollywood, turn-on-a-dime, dramatic thing that happens.
One Step at a Time
Along your journey, remind yourself that one step at a time is all you need to take. One step at a time is all you can ever take. And no matter where you find yourself or in what situation, you can always take one step. You can make yourself feel overwhelmed if you let your mind get carried away with all of the possibilities of what could be ahead. The path to your dream will never unfold in the way you think anyway, so just keep bringing yourself back to “one step at a time.” Those words helped me enormously when we were making The Secret film. When my dream seemed to be going way off the path that my human mind thought it should take, I brought myself back to just taking the next step, and by taking one step at a time, my dream came true.

If you think you can see every step you’re mistaken. That’s the mistake we make thinking we need to – or even that we could – control everything. My mother went to Narcotics Anonymous, and all these people do the serenity prayer: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” And that is everything. I couldn’t bring my mother back. I could not change my father’s HIV diagnosis. I couldn’t control the weather. You could make a list of all the things you can’t control, and if you put your energy into those it’ll go to the wind. Instead, you say, “Okay, what can I do?”
