Your Little Steps Are Worth It
Some people tend to wait for the time when they will take a giant stride towards their goals and they will end up not taking any step at all. You should not wait until you can take a big step before you take a step, take that small step today and you will be surprised at the outcome it will bring. Some of the steps that you term as "little steps," may hold the key to the bigger stride, but you will not know until you have taken the step. Believe me, taking a small step is far better than not taking any step at all or waiting in futility to take a giant leap.
When Neil Armstrong stepped on the near side of moon, he acknowledged that even though that step may be looked at as a small step, but it holds the propensity to set the precedence for a giant leap for the entire humankind. Obviously, that step was what charted a new course in space travels and ever since then, we have been seeing many other space trips and we may yet see other mind-blowing feats like space colonization, Martian colony, etc. You will not know the power that is embedded in that little step until you have taken it.
The initial step may look very challenging but you should take it nonetheless. It is the collection of micro steps that will ultimately equate to a giant stride. The small steps can be likened to little drops of water, which if they accumulate over time, will fill the pond. I remember a few months back, our tank started dropping water. Looking at the drops, you may think that they are very tiny and inconsequential, at least that was what we thought, until we decided to put a bucket under the spot that the water was dropping from. By the next morning, we were surprised that the little drops of water from the tank had already filled the bucket. This is the same way that little steps matter so much to the actualization of one's dreams.
No matter how small a step is, do not despise it. As long as you are not at the same spot and as long as you are moving, then keep moving. A time will come when you will look back at what you have achieved with those steps and you will be amazed and thankful that you took the steps in the first place. Note: Do not wait for opportunities to be created for you, you are the one that needs to create the opportunity by starting. In business for example, you must not necessarily wait to start big, you can just start at the level you are and then grow into greatness.
There are many people that started with virtually nothing and were able to grow big with continuous actions and determination. As long as you are doing something right, then you are making progress and it is better than doing nothing. I want to remind you that inactions are not rewarded, what is rewarded is action. Even if you take an action and not hit your desired mark, you are still better than the person that has not taken any action. At least, you have now gathered some experiences which the other person does not have, and your next attempt will be easier and better.
Do not let anyone talk you down on the positive step that you want to take. The same people that want to discourage you from taking the step may not stand by you when the consequences of not taking the step start to manifest. Always have it in mind that the success of your life (or the lack of it) is mutually related to the steps you have taken or did not take, so be wise.
