I am gonna give some thought to this Quest thing, as it suddenly occured to me that we aren't just talking about the unknown but also about things that are just plain HARD. Maybe they were at one time easier but now they are as hard as letting go of the Ring for Frodo ... I have some things on my To Do list that have become pretty hard. Hmmm ...emoticon

You’ll get where you want to go as long as you are taking more steps in the right direction than the wrong one.

Sam: This is it.
Frodo: This is what?
Sam: If I take one more step, it'll be the farthest away from home I've ever been.
Frodo: Come on, Sam. Remember what Bilbo used to say: "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."


It's hard to take that first step into the unknown. Sam had Frodo's support to help him out of the Shire, as well as the promise he made Gandalf not to leave Frodo. Later, their friendship would prove to be the ultimate motivation that kept them both going. If it wasn't for their friendship, Frodo would have failed and Middle Earth would have fallen.

This week's challenge focuses on taking those steps into the unknown, and on those things that help keep us going on the path, when it gets hard.

Challenge: Think about your first step out of the Shire; what was your reason for setting out on the journey? What was the first step you took? What is the next step you need to take to that will help you achieve your goal? What do you need to make that next step? Gather what you need, and take that next step this week.
