On Small Steps
Big goals feel impossible when I stare at the whole mountain. A marathon, a book, a new life—they’re too heavy to carry all at once. And so the temptation is to quit before I even begin.
But nothing big is built in a day. Every achievement is made of small steps stacked on each other. One page becomes a chapter. One workout becomes a habit. One brick becomes a wall.
The work feels small, but small is where the power hides. If I take the next step today, and tomorrow, and again the day after, the mountain that once terrified me will be behind me.
“Don’t let your imagination be crushed by life as a whole. Stick with the situation at hand.” – Marcus Aurelius
