Too many people see the "BIG PICTURE" and kinda freak out. It scares you and freezes you on the spot.

I am almost 40 and I still get that feeling when I am approaching a huge project or milestone in my life.

The trick is to treat it like one of those huge bastard puzzles. Pick up one piece and get started.

Don't worry about what the finished picture will be yet. No puzzle can be completed without starting with that one piece, no matter how insignificant that one little piece seems at the time.

That one piece will lead to another small piece.

Soon you will find a corner.

Before you know it the edges are taking shape.

Once you have the edges you can see the framework for your goal.

Now you have a feel for it and it's more comfortable to you and you can fill in the big picture.

It is still a lot of work but never let the big picture scare you away from picking up that first piece.
