A Little Bit Every Day

I am blessed with the opportunity to give private lessons during the course of the week. One of my private students is a teenager who has special needs. His parents bring him to the private lesson every week without fail. He loves the martial arts and his parents love the focus and confidence it brings him.

During one of our lessons this past week, he turned to me and said, "....step by step, day by day, doing a little bit every day."

A simple, yet powerful truth. His words reminded me that all to often in my life I get caught up in accomplishing the "big goal". Getting caught up in the frustration that comes when things do not happen as fast as I want them to.

His words reminded me that you cannot control the date you arrive at that big goal. However, you can connect and commit to the step, to the day and to doing a little bit every day.

Peace,

Isauro
