Baby Steps

When people talk about traveling to the past they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small. But rarely do they think about doing something small, to radically change the future. Baby steps are important because they are much more achievable then giant mountains or far away stars that cannot be touched Short term goals are comforting to an individual when the long term goal is still in progress, but out of reach A sprint runner at a short distance race has more powerful glutes, calves and quads to propel them forward and gives them more time to build stamina, before the big marathon Leave a tempting trail, activate cruise control, hold a hand Wear comfy shoes and just start walking When people think about the future, they think its already set but it can be interchangeable, with one single step ahead. Be progressive and advance onwards one baby step at a time sooner than later your future will align, and you will get there when, its your time to shine.
