Every block you lay, however tiny, means the redoubtable wall you’re building is now that much closer to completion. Never forget this simplistic yet transcendent truism! Tiny steps do matter; each one represents an integral constituent to the final sum. Although admittedly not the equivalent of gigantic leaps, tiny steps nonetheless bring you closer to your ultimate destination. For this reason, never discount them. Do not belittle them. Do not minimize their importance. Do not take them for granted. Remember, we’re not always in the proper frame of mind to make those aforementioned gigantic leaps. During stressful times, settle for lesser steps and then be exceedingly grateful for them. You cannot climb a mountain in leaps and bounds, and you likewise cannot summon the same prodigious amount of energy to address a daunting project every day of the week. So don’t, and rather gladly default to lesser increments on those occasions when your mind demands such.
