Tiny Steps

One of my favourite quotes is
'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step'.

Tiny steps make way to a great path. Life is not necessarily about reaching that dream, but growing and discovering yourself along the way. It's about finding yourself and becoming the person you can be- reach your potential. It's also about feeling content, and knowing that what you are doing is right. Life is about being you.

Too often, we get lost in the madness of this world. It's really hard to pull things together sometimes. We are unsure what to do next. There is a myriad of challenges, tasks to complete, unexpected circumstances. What you can do is try to focus on one thing at a time and not juggle with too many tasks. Tackle one thing at a time. Give it your full attention and be immersed in that single task fully. In so doing, you don't feel overwhelmed and actually build momentum to tackle what's next. 

We're filled with information everywhere, every day, every moment. It's a real struggle to keep your attention on the thing you really want. It's almost impossible to be you. We tend to forget who we are, trying to live to others' expectations. It's a matter of not feeling pressured, and do what feels right. 

Don't be driven by making a big impact, but by doing daily actions, you will reach whatever you set yourself. Be committed for the long haul. Remember that it takes every single drop of rain to make the river. By being consistent in your daily activities, you'll be able to create an amazing path and create a journey of fulfilment. It's all about the progression, the experience, the journey, not the achievement. 

Life is not a bed of roses. It's a curved road, with an unknown destination. Know that things won't always go the way you want it to be. However, you have the ability to choose how to react. 

Start your journey and don't look back. You were put here for a reason. You have a purpose. Follow and trust your instincts. Look within and you'll see what is it you really want to achieve in this life.

Tiny steps

I admit, I lost track again. It's alright. We all do. Things happen. Stumbles are part of the journey. To get back to life, take tiny steps. 1 single action. The key is it doesn't have to be huge, only enough to get you started again.

Consistency

You've got to be consistent in whatever you do. To improve, learn, and be successful, you've got to be committed and consistently do what you must, in order to move in the direction of your dreams. Consistency will determine the value of your determination and how far you will get. Of course, it's not an easy task- to stay focus and not lose faith. Hang in there, 0.1% improvement is always better than zero. Over time it compounds and leads to unexpected results. Be driven by the system, by the action, by what it takes. Persevere and be consistent. 

Gratitude

As this year comes to a close, I believe the most rewarding action to take is to list down all the things you are grateful for. It will be a gateway to reflect on all that happened during the year. It'll be an opportunity to unwind and see all the blessings you received. Sometimes what appears to be challenging and undesirable turned out to be a learning curve.  This is the time to be reminded of all the lessons learnt. Life has so much to teach us, but all lessons are learnt within and kept inside. Be aware that we have all that we need at any given time. I'm grateful for 2017 and all that it came with. Count your blessings.
