A little difference

Make a little bit of a difference. Do it again and again.

Know where you desire to go. Proceed in that direction, one small step at a time.

A sure way to bring on frustration and disappointment is to assume you’re going to change your whole world overnight. A sure way to make progress is to be realistic about your ambitions.

You cannot jump instantly to the top of the mountain. Yet you absolutely can follow the winding pathway, climbing a little each day.

Do that, and eventually you’ll be marveling at the spectacular view. Perhaps even more significantly, you’ll feel the power of persistence deep within your bones and muscles.

There’s a little bit you can do right now, and a little more tomorrow. Line up those little efforts in a consistent direction, and go precisely where you wish to go.

— Ralph Marston
