It Is The Small Steps, Not The Giant Leaps
The full quote by Queen Elizabeth II is: “It’s worth remembering that it is often the small steps, not the giant leaps that bring about the most lasting change.” Let that sink in…a powerful quote in few words, yet very life- changing.
We spend our life waiting on the big break or that huge opportunity, not realizing it is step-by-step of aligning yourself for that big break or opportunity. Perhaps by chance or luck, as we approach St. Patrick’s Day, “The luck of the Irish.” It may come by being in the right place at the right time or meeting the right people. It is like building a brick house,…it takes laying brick by brick,…until one day, there is a complete and beautiful home. The Great Empire of Rome was not built in a day. Why would your precious life be any different? Continue to build your life. Do not waste it or treat it carelessly. Patiently build it one step at a time. Aid or help others along the way and, by doing so, your own hopes and dreams may come true.
Keep making small steps. I encourage you to keep networking, keep putting YOU out there. Invest and believe in yourself. Someday you may look back and see how far you have come. Realizing it was not the giant leaps, but the small steps that got you there!
