It’s easy to overlook the small steps that it takes to reach our goals. It’s as if our minds are more enamored by the end product–the goal–as soon as it sets its sights on it. It’s more focused on reaching the finish line rather than the steps that it takes to get there. But much like writing a book or a story, it’s only possible when small steps are taken, since it leads to chapters getting written, and when enough of them are finished, the story is complete.
Or it’s like working on a math equation, where the solution is found by applying the laws of equality several times until the final line is x = a, where a is a number. The solution couldn’t have been found until the intermediary steps were applied. And a book couldn’t be written without pages and chapters being finished. All those small steps matter, since they make up the end product–are necessary to the achievement our goal(s).
