It’s The Little Things

One step at a time

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 MLK JR.

I love days when everything falls into place. Plans coming together. Teams knocking it outta the park. Celebrations for accomplishments.

Beautiful.

But those days don’t happen every day.

What do we do on those days when nothing comes together? If we only move forward on good days, very little will get done.

The key to moving forward isn’t only for the days when everything works the way it should. If you want to move forward, it will take small steps every day.

It’s the little things.

Small, seemingly insignificant steps are the key. Making that phone call. Sending that reminder text. Cleaning up that mess that others ignore.

It’s the little things. Every day.

It’s easy to overestimate what we can do in a week, and underestimate what we can do in a year.

Be patient. One step at a time.

So, on those days when things aren’t working out, or when you feel what you’re doing isn’t making a difference, don’t stop.

Just take the next right step. Every day.

Remember, it’s the little things.

What is your “next right step” today?
