One step forward

One step forward

When we look at the big picture, it’s too scary and the mind goes into protective mode and comes up with a tsunami of excuses as to why doing nothing is the best option.

If we look at a single small step that we can take towards the big picture, then it falls under the mind’s radar and therefore, we are 100x more likely to take that step.

Once we have taken that small first step, then it’s so much easier to take another and another.

Small is what it is about. Something we can do right now.

Giant leaps never happen. Life’s success is a series of small steps taken well and repeatedly. No need to think…just step forward.

What’s stopping me?

I’m sitting here in the sun with a cup of tea, in my mind, I’m pondering the lack of time to do things that I used to, like my daily blog, my daily writing journal and my daily art.

Like we all do, I was excusing myself and making up all sorts of BS as to why I couldn’t do these things.

Instead, I just stopped the incessant scrolling on Instagram and Facebook and went to my Notes and started typing.

All that is stopping me is me and my thinking.

There is no shortage of time.

It’s what we choose to do in this moment right now that counts.
