Small Efforts, Day In and Day Out

There are many days when I allow myself to get overwhelmed. My To-Do list is too long, my patience too short. I can't get to where I want to go fast enough. My goals seem unrealistic, and I feel like there are too many things preventing me from reaching them.

But when I sit down and really look back over the past few years, I can see that I actually have made a lot of progress. It's imperfect progress, to be sure, but it's still progress.

Small efforts. Day in and day out. Three steps forward, one steps back. It's all moving me in the direction I want to go. It takes focus and discipline, the support of family and friends. Surrounding myself with people who will encourage me.

So I can choose to focus on how far away I feel like I am, or I can choose to focus on how far I've come. I'll choose the second option. 🖤🧡
