A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
— Lao Tzu
Perhaps the most quoted line in all of Eastern philosophy, and one of the most misunderstood. Lao Tzu is not offering a productivity tip. He is pointing at something deeper: that every vast undertaking — including the rebuilding of a broken life — starts with one small, unglamorous movement forward. The emphasis is not on the thousand miles. It is on the single step.
