Take one small step daily in the direction of your dream.
If you commit to this, I promise your dream will soon morph into a goal and then, before you know it, your goal will transform into reality. Dream → goal → reality.
To be honest about the entire cycle – your once impossible dream/new current reality eventually becomes passé and …voila, you’re ready to dream some more!
What a wondrous evolutionary cycle. Dream → goal → reality. Bigger dream → higher goal → even better reality and so on and so on.
Where are you in the cycle today?
Have you ever found yourself thinking, “If only I would have done ____ (fill in the blank) yesterday, last year, years ago (pick one)?
If so, consider this ancient Chinese proverb: “The best time to plant a tree was always 20 years ago. The second best time is always today.”
So, I guess it’s not too later after all.
Start now.
I’ve asked around and the number one, absolute top reason most people don’t even begin to do what they most want to do is because they think their simple, little efforts won’t make the smallest dent in the distance between here and there.
Little do they know that inch-by-inch is a cinch compared to yard-by-yard, mile-by-mile, uphill-climb by uphill-climb.
Celebrate your inch today.
What’s one little thing you could do today that would make you feel like you have arrived?
It doesn’t need to be big and flashy.
Just one small thing – real or imagined – that would puff you up and give you the sense of all you are destined to be.
Got an idea?
Good. Now, act on it…please.
Keep taking little steps and expecting big results.
Before you know it, you’ll be far beyond where even you thought you were headed in the first place!
As you race through your morning routine and move between one project to another, do you ever wonder where all those luxurious hours of the weekend slipped away to?
They’re still here. They just seem to disappear when you focus on what’s still to be done instead of what you have already accomplished.
So, relax. Celebrate how far you have come. Your progress is impressive.
And there’s plenty of time for the rest.
Do you know the best way to finish something?
Start it.
And the best way to start it?
Do something. Anything. The smallest something will do. Especially if it gives you pleasure. Enjoying the journey is part of the trick. And the tiniest of steps, over time, can rack up some serious mileage.
See you at the finish line.
The only person who should ever have to live up to your standards, is you.
No one else can dream as big, accomplish as much, or make magic happen like you do, so if they don’t get it, can you really blame them?
You know what this also means? You need to let yourself off the hook every now and then too. I mean really, isn’t walking on water every other day good enough?
Revel in how far you have come.
