This reflection appeared at many of our meetings over the last few weeks. Thought I would share it and record it for my own posterity!
"Our journey of life is about progress, not perfection.
It’s not about doing one thing 100% better –
it’s a matter of doing 100 things
1% better each day.
Progress is evolutionary
not revolutionary,
and most days we measure our progress
in inches, not miles.
What matters most
is showing up for your life
whether you feel like it or not.
Ask yourself,
“What two or three little things
can I do today
that would move me forward?”
You’d be amazed
at how much distance you can cover
by taking it in increments.
The little things add up;
the inches turn to miles;
and we string together our efforts
like so many pearls.
Before long,
look what you have –
a whole strand!"
Many of my classmates are talking about giving up, dropping the course with only 2 weeks to go because our prof has just made it so hard that none of us foresee passing grades. But your post has given me the motivation to keep pushing on. The time I could be spending griping and pouting will be spent studying and overcoming this obstacle! Thanks, Dorrie!
