Big Steps Vs. Small Steps

Achieving goals. I have been diving deep into what is truly amazing in my life. I have been seeing more clearly the huge impact of taking huge steps to small steps to achieving my goals.  They both have value, but one is sustainable while the other is not. Big steps are most of the time super charged chaotic possibilities, and small steps are methodical slow and understanding to great discoveries.

Big steps have there value in making drastic changes in your life that could have a positive outcome. Sometimes in life you might need a swift kick in the butt to strive for your goals. A huge step might get you started in the right direction, but how long can you run at full speed in a marathon? There is high risk that you could easily fall off track with one little bump in the road, or something could give out, body, mind, and even loved ones around you. Blinded to the extent of losing progress in other areas in life to achieve the one goal. I have experienced and seen the big steps, and every time they start out with great intention, but at the end the same lesson is learned no matter the outcome good or bad It is not maintainable. Even if the goal has been achieved the goal disappears from our lives as fast as we achieved it. 

Small steps are what builds the foundation to sustainable success. It is a way of achieving your goals without disrupting your currently life, but only adding to it. Small steps is takes gratitude in every little thing accomplished and still makes time for other opportunity's in life. You learn more about the goal and the bigger reason for trying to achieve  your goal. It is a simple slow jog that is set by you and easier to maintain and make it to the end of the marathon and continue this progression into your own life forever. Small steps are great because eventually you will succeed, and now everything in life turns into great success. Small steps teaches gratitude for all the small progress that you have made. 

For me Big steps get me started and thinking in the right direction, but the small steps is what lets me accomplish my goals and see the bigger picture. 

Big step: I want to have my balance and strength again. So I should work out all the time and practice as much as you can and push myself to the extremes. It is unacceptable if I don't at least do ten push ups a day. 

Small steps: I will not work out all the time because I am not there yet. I will become dizzy if I push myself to much. I will do certain amounts a day and take gratitude in small achievement to regaining my strength and balance. Today I do one full push on the ground and tomorrow I will do another and then another. Until I can do two on the ground without issue and I will be proud of those two that day. I will some day reach one hundred in time.
