"Today I have a chance to make a contribution to my sense of well-being. I can take some small action that will strengthen a relationship, pursue a goal, or help me to feel better about myself... My goal is simply to move in a positive direction, knowing that major strides often begin with very small steps."
-Courage to Change (Alanon book), Feb. 7 Devotion
Slow and steady wins the race. Many of you probably have heard of that quote. I believe it really does ring true in our lives.
I have really moved forward in a lot of ways these past few months. And it began with small steps, like taking my medication every day. We don't need to make big leaps forward every day, just small and steady steps forward.
I am currently working on a book and it's a huge project. I've been working on it a little at a time and I am reminded that I am getting somewhere even though it does not always feel like I am. It is the little steps that add up to a book.
I also am looking for jobs and each resume that I send out is a small step forward, hopefully leading to me getting a job, which would be a huge leap forward.
Trust me when I say that the small steps add up...
