I have been watching the part of my mind that
wants things to be done already, that wants life to be completed
somehow. I think it's the 'arrived' feeling that I deeply want to
experience that I project out into the world, thinking the world is going to do it for me.
This Buddha quote is so simple, and yet there's so much truth in the
fact that we only really get anywhere by taking one small step after the
other in the direction that our heart tells us is the way to go.
Sometimes the small steps don't feel like they're big enough, good
enough or significant enough, but the more and more I look around, the
most successful people, the most fulfilled people have taken millions of
tiny steps and a few big ones. But most of them are small ones that
end up being strung together to make a life, to fulfill a dream.
Here's to our small steps and the path we carve by putting one foot in front of the other in the direction of our dreams.
