Effort after effort

Do a little work. Then do a little more.

No meaningful journey consists of just a single step. Getting anywhere takes multiple efforts, and then many more.

Sometimes you can easily measure your progress with each discrete step, and other times it’s not so obvious. Yet in every case it is the effort, followed by more effort, that’s essential to the progress.

As tedious as each effort may seem, in that effort exists pure, raw value. And you are in the process of stacking instances of that value, like so many bricks, into a wall of achievement.

The completion of one task makes another task possible. Layer upon layer, step after step, unique achievement finds and establishes its form based on your continued efforts.

The result you seek is already taking shape as you complete effort after effort. Keep it up, and fulfill the whole of the potential that you’re already bringing to life.
