Even the Smallest Step

A tiny little improvement is infinitely better than doing
nothing. For those tiny little improvements add up.

A small word of encouragement is far better than no
encouragement at all. Just imagine what it might mean to
someone.

Today you have the opportunity to make the world a better
place. Much more likely than not, that opportunity will come
in the form of something seemingly insignificant.

Yet though it may seem unimportant at the time, though no
one may notice, a small positive act can have a big positive
impact. Because it can create a positive momentum.

Even the small achievements are achievements. Even the
smallest step in the direction of your goal will bring you
closer to that goal, much closer than if you had done
nothing.

When you're able to take giant strides, by all means do so.
When you're not, then take whatever step you can, make
whatever improvement you can, offer whatever kindness you
can.

The positive momentum you establish and maintain will make
more of a difference than you might imagine. Even the
smallest step counts in a big way.
