Focusing On Small Steps

We have been conditioned by society and technology to expect big results in as little time as possible. Anything from a 30 minute pizza delivery guarantee to instant online downloads, we want the biggest and best things in life in minutes. In fact, some of us are so impatient that we expect the very best life has to offer, delivered yesterday. Talk about setting ourselves up for a let-down.

There are many challenges in your life that will take quite a bit of effort, attention, and energy. You may be trying to earn a degree. You may be looking for your dream job. You may be angling for a raise or promotion.

Whatever form the challenge takes, it's something you have to work on. It will, however, take time and that is what trips many people up.

We live in a world that is increasingly impatient. This is why the long journey towards expertise, credibility and authority irritates a lot of people. 9 times out of 10, they would rather dispense with having to pay their dues.

You can't become an overnight expert. You can read all the books in the world regarding a particular subject, but you're not going to be an expert in that subject without practice and experience.

Take swimming for example. You can spend a lot of time reading everything you can find on swimming, but it doesn’t guarantee that you will be able to swim.

There's a big divide or disconnect between theory and practice. This is why it's always a good idea to not assume that just because you learned certain things that it will automatically or magically transform you. Focus instead on each small step forward you take. Each step is a victory.

It may seem very tiring and time consuming but you shouldn't give up. Each step is still a step forward. If you keep at it, your steps will soon turn into leaps and bounds. Before you know it, you’ll become unstoppable.
