“When overwhelmed, remember: one thought at a time, one task at a time, one day at a time.” –Author Unknown
You’re on the right track and heading in the right direction. Be patient with yourself. Good things take time, and great things take even longer. Whatever you’ve been working towards will happen.
“Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time.” –Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Every step in a process—or in life’s journey—is important. The first step gets things started, and each one afterward keeps you on track and moving forward. Don’t rush the process by skipping steps. Doing so can delay progress. Skip too many, and you may have to start over.
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue…” –Proverbs 18:21
“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…” –Proverbs 23:7
The tongue is powerful, and so are thoughts.
Whether we say it aloud or not, what we say to ourselves and think about ourselves matters. What we say and think about our capabilities and capacity matters. What we say and think about our future matters.
Be mindful of not only what you speak but also what you think—both matter.
Progress is progress no matter how slow or insignificant moves may feel or seem. Be careful not to let setbacks, delays, or life pauses make you feel as though your efforts don’t count. They definitely count!
Stay focused on your vision and keep moving forward—even if you can only move an inch at a time. Soon you’ll see all you envisioned and more.
“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” –Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.” –William James
Your unique gift is the key to making the ordinary extraordinary. It’s your special touch that makes the difference, and the world needs it. The world needs you!
