Every Step Counts



Each of us has a unique gait, with no two people’s walk being the same.  Some legs are longer than others, enabling them to step further in one stride than someone with shorter legs.  The person with smaller stepping ability may attempt to cover the same distance, in the same time as their long-legged friends.  The results - shortness of breath, and feelings of failure at not keeping up.  Makes me think about life. 
Some people do so much in a relatively short space of time, whilst others seem to marinate for decades before coming into their own.  Each person’s life progress has involved steps that give them a unique experience which is to be valued.   Some steps would have been on firm ground, others on shaky, slippery soil, some steps on rocks, others on grass.  Whatever the terrain, its traversing has given you a plethora of insights helping you to grow into you who you now are.   You have qualities and abilities that give you a unique makeup which is to be celebrated.  You can contribute to life in a way that no one else can.  Your walk is like no one else’s and this identifies you.  Enjoy.
