Starting small isn’t just because the problem is more accessible, but the requirements to get traction and succeed are too.
Once we solve the smaller problems, our confidence grows. One by one, we get to make things happen along the way.
Sometimes, when we are stuck, it’s not that we don’t want to think about what to do next or settle for doing nothing; often, we don’t realize we need a new goal to reach.
From “who am I to solve this?” to “what I really want to do next is to solve that!” is just an awareness away. When you hit all the steps and goals you’ve designed to hit, you know that you are ready to take on the next challenge.
Grounded courage is just as important as skills in setting us up for forward motion.
