can change everything think about this every great thing started small a tree was once a Tiny Seed a long journey begins with one step your dreams they start with one small action so what's stopping you fear doubt let me tell you those things are normal everyone feels them but you can choose to move forward anyway you don't need to be perfect you don't need to have all the answers you just need to start it doesn't matter if your first step is small what matters is that you take it let me tell you a story there
was a man who wanted to write a book he didn't have much time he had a job a family and many responsibilities but every night he wrote one page just one page after one year he had a book now imagine if he had said I don't have time his dream would have stayed just a dream so what's your dream do you want to learn something new start a business get healthier whatever it is you can start today take one small step maybe it's reading a book for 5 minutes maybe it's writing your ideas in a
notebook you might think one small step doesn't matter but it does Imagine This if you take one small step every day where will you be in a year in five years those small steps will add up do you want to lose weight start by drinking one glass of water before every meal want to save money put aside just $1 every day these things seem small but over time they grow and here's the secret small steps are easier to take they don't feel scary they don't feel impossible but they build momentum and once you start it
gets easier to keep going do you know what stops most people it's not a lack of ability it's not a lack of talent it's waiting for the right time let me tell you something the right time doesn't exist the best time to start is now think about the things you want in life better health more happiness more success whatever it is it starts with action not big action not perfect action just small consistent steps and here's the truth you will make mistakes that's okay mist Stakes are part of the process they help you learn they
help you grow remember a baby doesn't walk perfectly the first time they fall they get up and they try again let me tell you another story there was a woman who wanted to run a marathon she couldn't even run one mile at first but she didn't give up every day she ran a little farther one mile turned into two then five then 10 after a year she ran her first marathon she didn't start strong she started small do you want to know the best part each step you take builds confidence every time you try you

first step let me tell you something you are stronger than you think you are more capable than you believe don't wait for someone to tell you that believe it now and don't compare compare yourself to others their journey is not your journey their success is not your success focus on your own path some days will be hard you might feel like giving up but remember this the hardest days are the ones that make you stronger you've survived every tough day so far you can survive this too the only thing standing between you and your dream
