I\u2019m always wanting to do great things. Little things lack pizzazz. I\u2019m looking to make great strides and accomplish something huge. I want to be better than i am\u2014stronger and faster than I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I am what I am. I hope I could become more, but it takes time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time and effort. Frustratingly slow and ponderous time and effort. I wish it were otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know it is not. I can only do what I can do, and I can only do it at the speed I can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s discouraging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It can feel like a reason to not try at all. How can my very small effort matter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m thinking big, and yet small is all I can do. I want to give up. Why even try?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Someone once told me when I am trying to turn things around, to see if I can make one degree of change. Turn it one little degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not much but it is a change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will make that much of a difference. One degree might be all I can do, but if I can do that it will have to be enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can do that, and if I keep trying I can do it again. Changes, if done consistently, can add up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Making no change adds up. Nothing plus nothing times the days I keep doing nothing adds up to less and less time to make a change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But 1 degree of change after 180 changes, results in a complete turn around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, I\u2019m dreaming big. I wouldn\u2019t have it any other way. It\u2019s a problem if I am only focused on the big goal and can\u2019t beak it down into the steps that I can take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The little steps…those tiny changes that seem inconsequential and barely worth doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The big dream can give me the reason to keep on with the tiny every day steps, to keep the steps going in the direction of the change i hope to see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It takes a lot of time, and a lot of little steps to get to the change I\u2019m hoping for. It takes a big vision not to give in to the despair that waits every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every day, make the little change that I can. Keep the flame of the vision burning and keep my eyes on the big dream. Beautiful beaches are made of tiny grains of sand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
