Tiny steps

Why do I have to continually fight the notion that progress is made only with giant steps?


Most failure sneaks up in barely noticeable increments:

• Just one more bite of dessert. . .
• Too much to do this morning; I'll exercise tonight . . .
• I'll finish this later . . .

Why not aim for success by making barely noticeable changes?

• Take 5 minutes before going to bed to make sure the stuff I need in the morning is ready.
• Instead of going for a doughnut, go for a walk.
• Drink water rather than something else when I'm thirsty.

Moving forward is the objective; consistently moving forward, one tiny step at a time.

This year I'm taking tiny steps forward, and this is one of them.
