a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

proverb A daunting task can usually be started by doing a simple thing. I'm feeling really overwhelmed about my research project, but I have to start somewhere, since a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I know you have a lot of planning to do, but just take it one thing at a time. Remember: a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. A: "Ugh, I've been putting off so much of the wedding prep, starting with calling the caterer." B: "Well, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
