Small Steps Are Big Steps in Disguise

I've been known to want to jump, leap, and be the hero many times in my life and over the course of countless projects and initiatives. 

The expectation of overnight success is rooted in this belief that if one big step is taken-- in this case the passing of day to night -- that with enough talent and specialness, we can make it ahead of the  line, be acknowledged for our uniqueness and thrive. Finally "make it". 

This isn't how it often works. The real bravery and test of faith lays in the small steps that plant seeds each step of the way until one day you look back behind you, ten years down the road, and see you've planted a forest. 

Trees don't grow overnight. And neither do you (or the projects you care about).  The good news about this is that you have time. 

Key points: 

  • How can your past signals and signs  help pave your path forward (when you look for them)?
  • Your dreams are yours. Fewer people than you think are applying for your dreams.
  • Dreams always whisper to us. 
  • Bravery is rooted in faith. Not blind hope. True faith. 
  • We’re given visions and that can be terrifying, It might look so far away. 
  • The right direction is the next step. 
  • We demand and ask our dreams to prove themselves to us and that they’re not lying.
  • Small steps require presence and faith. 
  • Dreams are directions, not destinations. 
  • We fear so much that the things we’ve been promised in our hearts are not true that we almost sabotage the possibility of them ever happening by never giving ourselves the chance to take small steps. 
  • And more!

As always, thank you for listening. You could be anywhere and you're here listening to me sing in a closet.  Thank you.
