Insight on Today's Quote
Some days seem too big. The tasks, the stress, and the expectations all pile up before you even start. But today’s quote reminds you that life doesn’t always ask for perfection; it just asks for you to keep going. You don’t have to jump. You don’t have to know everything. You don’t need tomorrow’s tools to deal with today.
Being honest means starting where you are.
Being thankful means using what you have.
Being brave means doing what you can.
Take a deep breath and look at what you already have. You don’t realize how much strength, potential, and grace there is.
Step Up To The Challenge
Pick one thing you’ve been putting off because it doesn’t feel “enough,” “ready,” or “perfect.”
Next:
Even if it’s just a small step, start it today.
Use whatever you already have.
Make a promise to yourself to take focused action for just five minutes.
Five minutes may seem short, but small starts can lead to big things. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
