Step by Step

Selim was sitting in front of the television, eagerly waiting to see who would win. His biggest dream was to become a marathon runner. He would sometimes imagine himself running, and sometimes he would even dream about it. However, whenever he woke up, his dream seemed almost impossible. He had no experience in running and would get tired quickly even in short distances. “Who are you to run a marathon!” he was saying to himself. So this remained nothing but a dream and a fleeting desire. But one day, Selim decided to make this dream come true.

He woke up with the sunrise and took his first step. He started running slowly, but very soon his breath was cut short. His chest hurt, his legs ached, and his lungs were burning. When he thought about how long the road was, his courage seemed to falter, but he took a deep breath. He told himself to go step by step. Everything starts with one step.

In the first week, he could run for a few minutes only, but he didn’t give up. He woke up a little earlier every morning and tried to go a little farther. Slowly but steadily, there was progress. One day he ran for five minutes, the next day ten minutes… Every day he got a little better. Through fatigue, frustration, and sometimes pain Selim never gave up. Sometimes, there would be obstacles, and the pain would make it hard for him to sleep. But he never stopped trying. Every day, he strived to be better than the day before.

As the months passed, running became less tiring. He could now run most of the course, and he could overcome the hills that once seemed intimidating. In this process, he grew not only physically but also mentally. Every time he thought, “Can I take one more step?” he told himself, “Yes, you can.”

When the big day arrived, Selim was ready at the start of the marathon, alongside the other runners. When the starting whistle blew, the others quickly darted ahead. Selim, however, began running with a genuine smile. Not fast, not in a hurry, just step by step... Every kilometer of the race reminded him of all the small steps he had taken to get there, all the struggles he had faced, and the internal battles he had fought. As the marathon neared its end, his energy was nearly depleted. A single sentence echoed in his mind: “Step by step.”

When he crossed the finish line, tears streamed down his face. He felt the happiness of achieving what he had dreamed of for years. He was not there to win the marathon, but to see himself and the determination he had gained along the way. He had learned that everything in life could be achieved with determination, step-by-step and with patience.

The Experiential Design Teaching says, “The path to success is through creating the cause in alignment with our goals.”

Successful people do not reach their success overnight. They make a decision and take the first step, moving forward tirelessly, with determination and perseverance. The key is to continue taking steps along the way. While each story is different in detail, they share similar qualities, just like all successful people. Because no success comes without effort.

To know the answer ask that "one" person!"
