Overcoming ourselves: The power of taking small steps

Right now, everything in the world feels uncertain, which has not made life easier for us.

 However, before this situation, life was not easy either.

 During this time off, many of us have tried to be better people in ourselves.

 We think that significant change is the solution, but that's not always true for everyone.

I've fallen into that trap before, and when I don't achieve the drastic change I seek, I lose hope and become disappointed in myself, creating a constant cycle of dissatisfaction.

 I have read books on self-help, self-love and confidence, exercised, run, eaten healthy and meditated, which should leave me happy and feeling like I was leading my life in the right direction.

However, that's not the case, and that's perfectly fine!

 We think that if we do what other people do, especially those we admire, then we are on the right track to being happy.

 We think that if we complete a list of tasks every day, then we will be satisfied and content with our lives.

 For some, this works, and there is nothing wrong with that.

 I would love to be that person who found it so easy to be happy and feel like they are leading their life in the right direction.

It is not always easy to move forward, but anything is possible

 Sometimes, as has happened to me, moving forward is not easy.

 Instead of focusing on tackling big projects all at once, we must focus on taking small steps that lead us to our final destination.

 Sometimes, the biggest accomplishment of the day is simply getting out of bed.

 At other times, we may take pride in going to the store, exercising or cooking a fresh meal at home.

We should place value on the little things in our lives.

 If we start doing this, our outlook on life will change and become more positive.

 We will feel satisfied with ourselves and proud of everything we have accomplished.

 Beyond anything else, it is important not to compare ourselves with others.

 Everyone has their own path and their own story to tell in life.

 Our biggest competitor should be ourselves.

 We should always try to be an improved version of ourselves every day.
