One of the reasons why many people have not taken a step towards their dreams is because they are waiting for a perfect condition and when they have the required support to take the step. This has hampered and impeded their movement because they may wait for the perfect condition without end. However, they fail to realise that it is better to start with what you have and keep moving than to wait for a big start. More often than not, it is not the size of the initial step that determines success but continuity - that is step-after-step.

There are many people that started with almost the least imaginable resource but have made their way to the top. This is because they did not wait to start big but they started from where they were and then kept putting in work to see themselves move from one level to another level. There is a reason you have to attend nursery school before you progress to primary, then secondary and university - the nursery school prepares you for primary and so on. If you are waiting to jump into university without going through other classes, you may wait till eternity. However, when you start with nursery, with progress being made, you will eventually find yourself in university.
In life, you may have a big dream to achieve or a mind-blowing idea, but to get it actualized, you have to start from where you are. Note this: your first move can comfortably be initiated with what you have. Just like it has been said over and again; "you do not necessarily need to see the completion of the stairs before you take the first step," as you take the first step, other stairs will be unfolded along the way. It is true that the first step may be very challenging because it is you trying out something for the first time, but you have to remove all fears that may try to hinder you and try out that first step. You will be surprised by the result.
The truth is that you will not know what a cave holds for you until you have explored that cave. More often than not, it is the cave that you are very scared of exploring that may be the pathway that will lead to the treasures that you are seeking. When you set your goals, you do not have to sit and wait for support before you start, start something and get going, then support will meet you in the course of taking steps. Note this: What you have is sufficient if you mix it with determination.

Even if you have all the whole support in the world and lack determination, you will still not make as much impact as someone that does not have as much support as you but has determination. If you are determined to succeed, then you should show it by taking the first step and making do with what you have at the moment while waiting for what you need. What normally limits people is not the lack of support but the lack of productive mindset. A friend of mine once made this statement and I will share it here:
If you keep a determined person inside the desert, he will figure out ways to grow crops in the desert. But if you put an undetermined person in a rain forest, he will watch the opportunity disappear before his eyes.
There are tonnes of opportunities that fly around each passing day but it is your duty to dive into any of them, and then start up something. It is worthy to note that there are some levels of support that you can only have when you have started on your own. True, even some people will be waiting for you to prove your seriousness by starting before they will come through for you. So wherever you are and with whatever you can lay your hands on, start the journey towards the pursuit of your dreams and you will be surprised at the outcome.
