Finding Time and Success with Small Steps!

Posted on June 26, 2009, under Time Choices.

Finding time to plan, implement, and sustain success strategies is a process. It involves both seeing your big goals and following through on the incremental steps that carry you from where you are to where you want to be.

In my recent article on E-zineArticles.com titled Time Management Tips – 3 Golden Rules to Create Big Results Using Small Steps I explore the “brick-by-brick” process of building toward your goals.

To me, this is one of life’s great truths and great mysteries – how the path to transformative change is incremental!

You know the adage, “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” Indeed, it was built brick-by-brick. Imagine the challenge of keeping sight of the goal while stacking bricks for months or even years on end! So it is for us, very often, as we build toward our goals.

This is why it is so important to acknowledge and celebrate each step along the way – realizing that no matter how “small” a particular piece of the journey may feel, each piece is an important and necessary part of getting there! Learning to truly value each and every step anchors you in the moment. It can help relieve some of the pressure to “get there” that our excitement and enthusiasm about our big goals can sometimes exert.

Knowing that “getting there” is a process means accepting that a span of time is involved and holding the dual realities of our big goal and our everyday, small steps in balance. This is a recipe for lots of small celebrations as you take each step toward success!

How do you sustain yourself through this process? As you take the small steps, are you able to manage (and celebrate) the daily steps while keeping your goal in sight? I’d love to hear how this works for you!
