June 1, 2024: Inches Grow to Leaps
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."
– Will Durant
With every new day, life gives us an opportunity to leap forward toward our goals! Then the reality of life sets in, and we realize we don't have time to make leaps forward. We are too busy dealing with the minutia of daily living. Thank God that leaps can be broken down into miles and miles into yards and yards can be broken down into feet and feet can be broken down into inches. If we put enough inches together, we will have a leap. So why not decide that you will not let one day go by without taking at least an inch toward your goal. An inch won't be hard, but enough inches put together will take you a long, long way. So whatever your objective, why not decide what an inch looks like heading toward your goal, and then let no day go by that you don't take an inch step toward your objective. Here's what you will find will happen: as you take those daily inch steps, you are going to build momentum. Soon, those incremental steps will allow you to see that reaching your goal is very possible. Once you learn that lesson, as the young folks say, "it will be on an crackin!"
So get Crackin!
