Inspiring Quotes "Considered"


Inspirational Thoughts about:

"Most people would succeed in small things if they were not troubled with great ambitions."- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

___

Big, big plans, however positive they are, can lead to equally large amounts of stress and worry. Sometimes even procrastination or a slowdown. And behind it all are those pesky questions bouncing around inside our heads: Can I really do this? Will it really turn out how I want? [Insert your own favorite here.] It happens to the best of us. And it's completely normal. We all want great results, but who wants to focus their energy on something that brings discomfort?

Well, perhaps a different approach is called for this time: breaking that project down into 10 or so smaller steps.

When we eat a large satisfying meal, we don't swallow it whole. To do so would be unthinkable. When it's most enjoyable, we eagerly cut a piece, chew it, savor it, swallow, and after digest. Then on to the next bite. It's so natural, and before we know it we're done...and satisfied. Why not do the same with our most important endeavors? Each successful step reinforces our ability to succeed.

Spiritual Growth reflections:
  1. What large ambition can I identify in my life right now? (Planning a wedding? Finding new work? Starting a business? Raising a child?)
  2. How might I break it down into smaller, manageable steps?
  3. Can I obtain more satisfaction and relax a little with this approach?
