Vanishing Step

The Limiting Step

Garth Beyer

It’s easy to jump one step, sometimes it’s essential. It’s called the Vanishing Step.

It’s not, however, as easy to jump two or possibly three steps. It’s even worse when you jump the vanishing step only to realize the second one you planned to land on isn’t there. It’s a risk. One that you don’t need to take.

That step that isn’t there, that unwelcome surprise, it’s called the Limiting Step. It’s the step that will trip you up no matter how perfectly timed your jump is.The Limiting Step prevents you from getting any higher on the stairway to success.

Unless…

You build the skill-set up that is holding you back. The Limiting Step symbolizes everything you lack that prevents you from reaching the top of the stairs: your goal. Those few books you haven’t touched, those couple of skills you have never sharpened and those few fears you have never faced all make up the Limiting Step.

To eliminate the Limiting Step, you have to ask yourself a few questions:

What is it you know the least about that is necessary for you to reach your goal?

What have you been consistently avoiding?

What is it you fear most?

Well? What is it you need to learn and practice before you make the jump?

Vanishing Steps

Garth Beyer

Have you ever walked down a set of stairs and tripped, skipped a step, or fell straight forward? Damn vanishing steps. Heck, it’s not just when you go down steps, I am sure you have tripped, stubbed your toe and fell forward going up the steps too. No matter the design or direction of steps, when they are taken, there are always some that seem to vanish.

It’s unlikely for you to make a realization as you are grabbing on for your dear life, but have you ever taken a moment after hitting that vanishing step to realize that you actually got to the bottom of the stairs quicker than if it had not vanished? Again, the same goes for if you were heading up the stairs. All the sudden you are either forced to take a jump to the bottom of the steps or army crawl your way up the stairs, both ways you get to where you are going quicker.

Taking it a step further (pardon the pun), what if you applied this same heart wrenching moment of a vanishing step into the goals in your life? What if you strayed away from doing it by the book, following all the rules, and taking all the steps? What if, maybe, just maybe, some steps vanished?
