Proof in the Baby Steps

There wasn’t anything she wouldn’t try to do.  And even if she didn’t get it done, she would be proud in being able to say that she tried.

Her Daddy told her many times that the biggest challenge a BabyGirl often faced was fear, but she no longer had any fear.

Her Daddy told her the trickiest roadblock a BabyGirl often had to find a way around was insecurity, but she was no longer insecure.

Her Daddy told her that the one thing a BabyGirl sometimes couldn’t overcome was how to get there, but she and her Daddy were there at the play area.

“But Daddy, I have no fear.  I feel safe.  And I made it here to the park,” the BabyGirl said with frustration.  “And I’m ready to try, but why do I still hesitate?”

“Because you have yet to put that first foot forward,” he replied.  “But the view when you get up there will be worth everything you had to do to be able to get there to see it ……. Baby Steps, Princess.  In the end, that’s all it truly takes.”

She let go of her Daddy’s hand and climbed that play equipment, seeing the fields behind it.  Her Daddy was right.  There was nothing quite like knowing that all she ever had to do was stop thinking about the reasons why she believed she couldn’t do it.  And start proving herself to be capable.
