As small as it may seem, every step gets you closer to your goal.

That first step doesn’t seem like anything at first. You can barely tell you’re moving forward. You’re so early in the process and your progress is limited. This is when most people give up. It’s important to push through this point.

The small steps are crucially important. Without the small starting points you would never get to your goal.

It’s one step in front of the other.

It’s like training for a marathon. Your first long run is 5 miles. It feels like nothing. The actual race is 26.2 miles. That first run isn’t even a fifth of the distance you need to ultimately run.

Why do so many people quit what they start? It’s hard. It takes a lot of time. It’s not particularly fun being bad at something.

Realize in the beginning that what you’re doing right now, no matter how small, is laying the foundation for your ultimate achievement.

You have to start somewhere.

The first step is important. What’s more important is taking those small steps each day. You’ll accomplish what you set out to do if you focus on the small steps.

“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” – Vincent Van Gogh
