Introduction
There are times in life and especially more so in the work
on ourselves where it just seems all too hard. And because it seems to hard the
last thing we want to do is try and move forward. But we know we have to! The
decisive factor is how we chose to move forward.
In this post I am going to put forward a suggestion. This
technique has certainly worked for me, and it may work for you or it may not,
though it may be just good to keep up your sleeve to help out a friend or
student who is passing through such a stage.
The Remedy
The remedy or technique consists of two steps. The first
step is to make a plan. But not just any plan, the next section describes in
more detail how the plan should be made.
Plan
The plan must have a firm and clear goal and the way to get
to that goal must be made by taking small steps. Very small steps at first and
bigger steps later on when one’s confidence and energy has grown.
Baby Steps
The step consists of taking the baby steps. The baby steps
have to be designed realistically and made very easy to start. We have to be
able to make them. As soon as we take the first step and we succeed, our confidence
will grow, and so will our energy. The very important part here is to take a
baby step everyday. Keeping your resolution to get to your goal is akin to this
consistency.
If a step seems to hard, then break it down into smaller
steps and go from there.
Conclusion
Breaking things down into steps that in your current state
you can do is the key. Even if these steps are son ridiculously small, that
does not matter because if you keep taking them you will get there. A wise man
from China, I forget who now, said something to the effect of walk slowly but
do not stop.
