…it’s easy to see a book and forget that it started with a single word.
It’s easy to see a business and forget that it started with an idea.
It’s easy to see a landscaped garden and forget that it started with a sketch.
It’s easy to see a huge wall and forget that it started with a single brick.
It’s easy to see an Olympic athlete and forget that it started with a dream.
It’s easy to miss those things.
It’s easy to think that they’ve always been that way.
It’s easy to think that big has always been big.
And not that they started small.
Because how can an oak tree come from an acorn?
And yet they did, and they have.
When you look at the end result it’s easy to miss all the growth that must have taken place.
We miss the fact that we ourselves started small.
That we began as one single cell that then split into two.
And that the door frame marks how far we’ve grown.
Because small comes before big.
And not the other way around.
So instead of focusing on the big, believing that people are uncatchable, or that the finish line is too far away to start, focus on the small instead.
Because that’s where everything begins.
And your journey is going to be no different.
