“Small steps may appear unimpressive, but don’t be deceived. They are the means by which perspectives are subtly altered, mountains are gradually scaled, and lives are drastically changed.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich, Making Wishes: Quotes, Thoughts, & a Little Poetry for Every Day of the Year

I think that many times, when we look at where we want to go in our lives, we can become discouraged at the GAP between here and there.

We make the HUGE mistake of focusing on the end result, way out in the distance (and many times, that “finish line” continues to move further away as our aspirations change as well) instead of realizing the only way we will get there is to put one foot in front of the other in that general direction.

I use the word general on purpose, because I also believe we make the mistake of thinking from here to there will be a straight line…

It is never a straight line…

So today, do two major (minor) things:

1. Take a baby step in the general direction of where you want to go, and who you want to be.
2. Realize you may veer a bit right or left, up or down toward the horizon

Do both of these things, and then when you lay your head down tonight, know you have succeeded this Wednesday!
