The little steps count.

Something is greater than nothing. However small that something may be, it will always be bigger than nothing. 1>0.

Suppose you have two jars. You decide to put a couple grains of sand into one, and nothing into the other. You do this every day.

At first, the two jars appear the same. They are both empty.

Then there is just a few grains of sand at the bottom of one. You say, that’s nothing really. But it isn’t nothing. It’s a few grains of sand. Big difference, you think. That difference is BIG, it makes all the difference.

You continue every day for a while. You add some sand in one jar, and nothing in the other.

Over time the jar with sand forms a little mound, and the one with nothing stays empty. You begin to see progress. You see that your efforts and consistency are starting to pay off. This motivates you. You continue.

Then, as the pile of sand gets bigger, every grain of sand you add becomes ever more insignificant in relation to the whole. You can’t see your progress. It gets tiresome and you think it’s pointless. But you continue.

You know that if you continue long enough, the jar of sand will fill up and overflow. But the catch is that you have to continue and persevere. Time is your ally.

Whenever you have something and think, this is nothing what am I going to do with this, or, what I’m doing is insignificant I can’t see results, remember that it is with time that the insignificant becomes significant.

The little steps count. Compounded over time, they give great results. Be happy to put in a little work. Do one simple step. Repeat that regularly. With time it will accumulate. Looking forward it is hard to see results when you have nothing. Looking backwards, when you have something, it is as clear as day.

Trust in your ability to show up. Trust in Time. For in time, it will pay off.
