Ever feel like you’re working your butt off to achieve some goal and yet it doesn’t feel like you’re making the kind of progress you should be? I’ve felt that way and many others have expressed so as well.
We often feel like there is some BIG thing we should be doing that will finally get us to our desired goal, whether it’s looking and feeling better, having more financial freedom, etc.
Yet, the truth is there aren’t any BIG things we can do. Only small steps taken over a long period of time, with an attitude of relentless persistence, will get you to the promised land.
My friend Scott Satterfield, a very successful network marketer and speaker, uses this metaphor. “Think of a snowball rolling down a mountain. At first it’s not much. Yet, as it continues moving down that hill, it gains speed, momentum, and mass. By the time it gets to the bottom, that snowball is a force to be reckoned with!”
Mother Theresa once remarked, ” We cannot do great things. Only little things with great love.” Therefore, take a moment to appreciate yourself for all those small efforts you make on a daily basis in the pursuit of your goals and dreams. If you were to add up all the time, energy, and effort you’ve put into reaching a worthy goal, it really is a pretty BIG deal!
Once you’ve given yourself a little gratitude, then refocus on the next few steps in front of you and get-er-done ! With continued self-belief, action, and gratitude, sooner or later, you WILL reach your goal. Yet, the real prize will have been the person you’ve become along the way.
