Great wisdom not applied to action and behavior is meaningless data. —Peter Drucker

We think we need make major plans and big action, but the small steps add up to huge change.

Big things are made of tiny things. Small steps add up, and carry you wherever you want to go, as long as you keep moving in the same direction.

If you switch your focus all the time, the small steps will take you in circles.

But if you choose a direction and stick with it, you can take the tiniest steps and get somewhere.

It will seem slow, especially at first. And there will be times when you’re sure you’re not going anywhere at all. During those times, here’s the key: don’t think too hard about it.

Just keep taking one small step after another.

The scope of a small step varies according to person, time available, energy, and other factors. Your leap may be someone else’s shuffle. 

What’s the direction you want to go? What’s a small step you can take in that direction?
