A Lot...

 "Little by little, a little becomes A LOT."

Tanzanian Proverb

I try to keep reminding myself of this each day when I have so many things I'm trying to get done and want to do and only so much time in a day. Little by little, each step is progress and when I look back it all adds up to A LOT!

 

Next Step...

"Things started to shift when I made the commitment to find direction in my moment-to-moment experience. the big picture was way too nebulous, but I realized that in each moment there was a kernel of truth, a clarity, a "yes" that showed me my next step."

When the big picture seems to overwhelming, I can scale it back and just look at what's in my present moment. Then comes small moments of clarity to show me my next step. It's still scary, but it's like  the time I was trying to cross a bridge that was ( what felt like to me) a little unstable and rickety, a friend walked behind me and encouraged me and was there for me to accomplish what felt like it was "un-doable." But taking one small step at a time, I crossed that bridge!

One Step...

When I was hanging out with my wonderful group of friends yesterday, one of the topics we talked about was the transition going on in my life. But one friend keep saying  "one step at a time" and there was something about the tone in her voice, that brought me peace in that present moment. So all day today I keep hearing her voice chanting in my head...

"One step at a time Nancy, one step at a time" 

The Next one...

"Life is all about just putting one foot in front of the other and taking that step. That step is what it's all about it. The NEXT one."

Just what I needed to remember today ~ only see the next step in front of me and not the next three or next 10... only "The NEXT one!"
