Ok, here's your push (courtesy of my great-grandsponsor):
A young soldier is about to go into his first battle. He's scared to death -- he has no idea how is is going to muster the courage to march forth.
That night he crosses paths with the General, who asks him how he is doing. He says "General, I'm scared. you've fought so many battles -- how do you summon the courage?"
The general kindly laughed. "Son, no one can simply summon the courage before their first battle. You get the courage from the battle itself."
Upshot: Take the step; find yourself ready for the next one. Instead of a push, think of being pulled to where you want/need to be.
