Steps?

Prompt: "Celebrate every step you accomplish, even the baby steps because what's truly important is to continue moving towards your dreams." Write about this in your Blog entry today.

I'm all for celebrating accomplishments. Such celebrations encourage us to live through the day and even through the harder times.

As to moving toward dreams, to begin with, at my age, I don't dream much. Except, I don't want too many changes or anyone or anything rocking the boat with my status quo. I can, however, understand why taking things step by step can be important toward accomplishing any goal. Those steps can be baby steps if one is easily overwhelmed and loses focus. Otherwise, what's wrong with wide strides, if I know what I am doing?

In the beginning of any project, tiny consistent actions may be the baby steps that the quote is pointing at. Such baby steps are helpful if one is doing something for the first time or learning how to go about it. So instead of being distracted and scared by the bigger picture, one's focus can be on every single small step until a habit on the subject is created.

Also, with small steps, quick adjustments can be made without having to deal with much larger mistakes. This way, with small steps, one can build momentum and omit feeling overwhelmed.

In any case, I don't believe there is any one certain route to handle a project. This is because we are each different people with different needs, likes, and dislikes. Then, each project itself has its own requirements and needs, too.

So, as much as I appreciate the quote and the idea of baby steps, I'm not going to say that baby steps are crucial for everything. If they were, we would be walking, in real life, like babies, and that wouldn't get us anywhere all that easily.
