dailyprompt-2147 – Dr. Mazlan Abbas

The river never wastes its breath arguing with the rocks.
It doesn’t complain.
It doesn’t pause to question why the obstacles are there.
It just keeps moving… finding its path one curve at a time.

Life works the same way.
Challenges appear without warning.
People disappoint us.
Doors close right when we’re ready to step through them.
Some days, it feels like every direction is blocked.

But if a river can keep flowing… so can you.

You don’t need a perfect path.
You just need the courage to keep moving, even when the pace feels slow.
Forward is forward, no matter how small the step.

And with enough persistence, even the hardest rocks begin to shift.

Some people wait for the perfect moment.
I learned that the moment never comes.

Most goals fail not because they are impossible, but because we whisper to ourselves, “When I’m ready, I’ll start.”

I used to wait too.

Wait for the right timing.
Wait for the right support.
Wait for fear to disappear.

But fear never disappears.
It only shrinks when you walk toward it.

One small step at a time.

Write the first paragraph even if it feels awkward.
Record the first video even if your voice shakes.
Launch the project even if you are still figuring things out.

Progress grows when you stop negotiating with doubt.

The world rewards people who start before they feel ready.
The world remembers the ones who dared to begin.

So if your heart keeps pulling you toward something, listen.

Move.
Try.
Begin.

Your future self is waiting for you on the other side of courage.
