The Power of Small Steps

Image courtesy of Dexchao/ FreeDigitalPhotos.net It’s that time of year when people make big resolutions.  And that’s great.  It’s good to have big goals.  I completely encourage big goals.  In fact, whatever you think you are capable of, I think you are capable of twice as much.  At least.

But…


 Sometimes we make the mistake of thinking big goals are accomplished in big steps. Then we feel overwhelmed, discouraged and eventually give up. 


 

Here’s the thing: big goals are accomplished by taking tiny, baby steps.  Lots of them.


 So, whatever you are dreaming of doing this year, consider breaking it down into the smallest steps imaginable.  Seriously, there is no step too small.  Then go step by step in the direction of your dream. 


 Remember: books are not written in a few marathon sessions.  They’re not written chapter by chapter, paragraph by paragraph, or even sentence by sentence.


 They are written word by word. Remember: tiny, baby steps.


 And this year, along with your other resolutions, consider adding one more: to be kind to yourself. 


 Give yourself all the time, patience, love and tiny steps you need to accomplish your goals and you’ll reach them.


 I believe in you.
