I have never in my life heard that phrase, Angela . . . but it made me laugh.

I really wish I could drill this into my head somehow. I have a really bad habit of procrastinating because I'm a bit of a perfectionist. Hopefully I'll learn from this because it seems I like to learn everything the hard way, haha x-x” Better to have a chicken tomorrow than an egg today, amiright?! ;D

“It's a lot of small steps that get us where we are headed and the beauty of the journey is that any of those steps can take us somewhere we never dreamed possible. That's the greatest lesson I have learned – every step counts and as long as you have that final goal in front of you – how you get there is so much more meaningful than the final destination…”

Quite often the comments on these articles are more insightful than the articles themselves. Thank you, Vickie.

I believe in the same philosophy of doing small things over time to lead to the BIG goal Nate and trust that you learned that secret the way most of us did. I have always been a BIG dreamer and believer than you can do anything you set your mind to. I also know that hard work yields the most results. But like you, I failed at everything I didn't put a plan to – a plan that had a lot of small steps to it. And it is in the small things where I have received the greatest rewards. I recently received a beautiful gift from my husband – a statue of a beautiful angel with one foot in front of the other and the inscription says; “a journey of 1000 miles, starts with one step”. He knows me well.

That's the greatest lesson I have learned – every step counts and as long as you have that final goal in front of you – how you get there is so much more meaningful than the final destination, for me anyway.

Wow, I guess you know how to do the “dream big” part, don't you…

Very cool – let me know how it progresses, okay?

Eh, I'm not really being hard on myself – mostly tongue-in-cheek.

But thanks much for the “uncommon sense” phrase – I haven't heard that before, but I like it.
