One step at a time

TV shows and movies present heroes and heroines in such a way, it has misled people to think success comes over night.

The reality is that success usually comes with many many hours, months, years of physical and mental labor.

When we are in the long journey, we don’t feel the dramatic change, impact we see from TV shows or movies. What we feel more may be small steps, tiny bit of movement, like water drops…

Chinese proverb says that water drops penetrate stones over time. Research shows that 10,000 hours of effort is needed to get you somewhere.

The difficulty is that we need to walk every step towards our goals and destinations in the journey, in each ordinary day. This requires us to be patient, focused, consistent and resilient.

This all starts with one step at a time.
