Small Steps Forward

Small steps also move us forward.

I thought about this as I watched a small child doing their best to keep up with their older sibling.

We feel a pressure - both outer and inner - to move quickly, keep up with others, and to take big steps.

Yet this child is moving. They will get where they are going, at their own pace, and with their smaller steps.

What if we were to resist the pressure to move quickly and keep up?

What if we gave ourselves grace to take the steps - big, small, or in-between - that are taking us forward?

It might just make our journey of change a little easier, don’t you agree.
