Thought for the Day
I recommend you take care of the minutes and the hours will take care of themselves.
- Earl of Chesterfield
Think about the big picture occasionally, so you understand where you want to be. However, once you outline your goal, narrow your focus. Take one step at a time. Put your energy into accomplishing one step well, rather than many steps poorly.
If you focus on one step at a time, you will one day look back and be pleasantly surprised by how far you have come.
Today, all you need to do is take one step.
